Acquire a magnificent piece of British royal history with this exquisite Victorian commemorative ceramic plate, produced to mark either the Golden Jubilee of 1887 or the momentous Diamond Jubilee of 1897. At the very heart of this historic piece lies a striking, full-colour transfer-printed portrait of Queen Victoria in her later years, faithfully based on the iconic and widely celebrated 1887 official photograph captured by Alexander Bassano. The monarch is portrayed with imperial dignity and regal poise, wearing her delicate small diamond crown draped over a traditional white lace mourning veil, complemented by a fine pearl necklace, matching drop earrings, and the brilliant light blue sash of the Order of the Garter alongside carefully detailed royal order ribbons pinned to her dress. Expertly crafted in the world-renowned potteries of Staffordshire from high-quality white glazed ceramic, the plate boasts an elegant rim beautifully embellished with crisp, fluted relief moulding wrapping around the entire outer border. It remains in superb antique condition with no damage whatsoever—completely free from chips, cracks, or crazing. While the original hand-applied gilding has softly worn away over the past 130 years, delicate, shimmering traces remain to echo its true 19th-century splendour. This rare, beautifully preserved surviving souvenir stands as an exceptional tribute to late Victorian craftsmanship and royal heritage, making it an irresistible highlight for any discerning collector of British royal memorabilia or antique ceramics.
