This cup bears the double warranty from Queen Elizabeth and Queen Mary, for the company's service to the crown and its quality of production. This antique teacup and saucer was produced in 1952.

The reference is to Queen Mary, the then King Albert's mother and Queen Elizabeth, his wife. This Elizabeth was the mother of the current Queen of England.
