Crafted in pale blue jasper with sage green and white accents, this elegant diced goblet is numbered 442 out of 500 produced. A fine example of late twentieth-century Wedgwood craftsmanship, highly sought after by collectors of royal memorabilia and historic commemorative ceramics.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe chalice features detailed white bas-relief decoration. One side displays the Great Seal of the United States and the other the coat of arms of Bermuda, inscribed with the motto Quo Fata Ferunt (\"Whither the Fates Carry Us\"). Both are framed by delicate floral swags suspended from classical medallions. A frieze of laurel leaves encircles the upper rim against a sage green band, symbolising honour and victory. Below, the lower body and spreading foot are richly decorated with a diced pattern of tiny green ivy leaves enclosed within lozenge-shaped panels, representing fidelity and endurance. The broad foot is finished with a bold acanthus leaf border, a Neoclassical motif associated with immortality and resilience.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe base is impressed with Wedgwood marks: \"WEDGWOOD,\" \"Made in England,\" \"No. 442 HB,\" and \"77.\"\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis rare commemorative goblet differs from more common Jubilee cups depicting Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip. It highlights instead the strong historical ties between Britain, Bermuda, and the United States.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHistorical Background\u003cbr\u003e\nProduced for the Queen's Silver Jubilee, this Wedgwood diced goblet commemorates not only twenty-five years of reign but also the enduring historical connections among Britain, Bermuda, and the United States. Bermuda, a loyal British Overseas Territory, played a pivotal role in supporting early American colonies and maintained strong cultural and economic ties with the United States following independence. The combination of Bermuda's arms and the Great Seal of the United States reflects centuries of shared history, friendship, and alliance, making this goblet a symbolic tribute to heritage and unity across the Atlantic.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nMeasurements\u003cbr\u003e\nHeight: 12.5 cm \/ 4.92″\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter across the top: 8.5 cm \/ 3.35″\u003cbr\u003e\nWeight: 360 g\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nCondition\u003cbr\u003e\nExcellent vintage condition.
