Where to buy King Charles III Coronation mugs

Emma Bridgewater 3 Cheers For King Charles III 1/2 Pint Mug

You can always rely on Emma Bridgewater for high-quality ceramics from plates to mugs, all handmade at their headquarters in Stoke-on-Trent. This half-pint tribute to King Charles III boasts a cheery hand-painted design, with the date of the Coronation on one side and a '3 Cheers for King Charles' message of goodwill to the new monarch on the other. Dishwasher-safe, low temperature recommended to keep the mug looking its best.

Emma Bridgewater God Save The King 1/2 Pint Mug

One side of this Emma Bridgewater Coronation mug displays the traditional motto 'God Save The King' while the other features the new king's monogram, all against an eye-catching rich red backdrop.

We love the intricate jewel pattern around the edges, a classic example of the Emma Bridgewater style with its impeccable attention to detail. Dishwasher safe, although a lower temperature wash and liquid detergent is recommended in order to preserve optimum appearance.

Marks & Spencer Coronation Mug

Marks & Spencer have released three mugs to mark the King's Coronation, and we've got a soft spot for this one - a colourful street scene showing flag-waving wellwishers, a troop of Royal Guards, and even a hot air balloon. The range also includes a Union Jack coronation mug, as well as a more traditional cup and saucer. And at just £5 each, they're a steal!

Royal Pooches ceramic mug

The Queen was famous for the corgis frequently seen trotting at her heels, and her son has inherited her love of dogs - Charles and Camilla adopted Jack Russell terriers Beth and Bluebell from Battersea Dogs' Home in 2017, and they will be joining the king and queen consort at Buckingham Palace. If you're a dog-lover yourself, you'll enjoy this coronation mug depicting two adorable labradors from Peterborough-based gift boutique The Image Industry, available at Etsy.

Fortnum's Coronation Mug

Luxury department store Fortnum and Mason have created a suitably upmarket mug to commemorate the coronation, combining regal gold with the brand's signature Eau de Nil duck-egg blue. The mug's delicate design shows off a motif inspired by tea leaves and oak trees, whose royal associations date back to Charles II. Handmade from fine bone china, this is definitely a memento to be treasured!

Spode King Charles III Coronation mug

The Coronation will be a historic day for Britain, so if you're looking memorabilia to commemorate the occasion, why not shop for goods made in the UK?

This earthenware mug by venerable British pottery brand Spode, now part of Portmeirion, is produced at Portmeirion's factory in Stoke-on-Trent, and features Spode's signature delicate blue and white detailing in a design which incorporates the symbols of the home nations. The mug holds 340ml and is dishwasher and microwave safe - handy to know if you prefer memorabilia you can actually use!

Cath Kidston Coronation mug set

This limited edition Royal Stafford mug set from Cath Kidston focuses on the transition from Queen Elizabeth II, Britain's longest-reigning monarch, to the new era of Charles III. Each of the two mugs displays the monarch's portrait on one side, while the reverse features an illustration showing them on horseback - a nod to their shared love of riding.

Sophie Allport Coronation Mug

If traditional 'in your face' royal memorabilia emblazoned with royal seals and dates isn't quite your speed, there are plenty of more subtle options for commemorative mementoes. This cute Coronation-themed design from Sophie Allport is a perfect example - the fine bone china mug features a charming illustration of the road to Westminster Abbey decked out for the celebration, complete with red-coated Buckingham Palace guards.

Dishwasher and microwave safe, it comes in a gift box ready to be presented to the royal-watcher in your life!
