Monk makes Coronation monks. Brother Thomas inspecting completed coronation mugs
Monk makes Coronation monks. Brother Thomas inspecting completed coronation mugs at Prinknash abbey, Painswick, Gloucestershire, where the monks are hard at work in their own potteries on the production of these and other coronation souvenirs. The monks use clay dug from the Abbey ground and work to original designs. Each mug - finished in green, blue or cream base - is decorated with the Royal Standard and a cameo head of the Queen, with the monogram ER, on the reverse. A lion rampant forms the handle.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the year 1952 at Prinknash Abbey in Gloucestershire. The image showcases the dedicated work of a monk named Brother Thomas as he meticulously inspects completed coronation mugs. At the abbey, these devoted monks have embarked on an extraordinary endeavor - crafting their own pottery and producing various souvenirs for the momentous occasion of Queen Elizabeth II's coronation. With clay sourced from the very grounds they reside on, each mug is a testament to their craftsmanship and attention to detail. Finished in elegant shades of green, blue, or cream, every piece is adorned with two significant symbols: the Royal Standard and a delicate cameo head of Her Majesty herself. On the reverse side proudly sits her monogram ER. What makes these mugs truly unique is not only their exquisite design but also their lion rampant handle – a nod to British heritage and strength. It is evident that these monks pour their heart and soul into every creation they produce. This print serves as a timeless reminder of both tradition and innovation coming together harmoniously within Prinknash Abbey's walls. As we gaze upon Brother Thomas inspecting his handiwork, we can't help but appreciate the dedication behind each stroke of paint on those regal mugs – an enduring tribute to Queen Elizabeth II's historic coronation day.
