The Queen's Platinum Jubilee has been marked with a commemorative range of chinaware, and the collection is now available to purchase.

The Queen, 96, will officially mark her 70 years on the throne later this year with the Platinum Jubilee celebrations.

There are set to be street parties and week-long celebrations for Queen Elizabeth II over the bank holiday in June as people celebrate our longest serving Monarch.

As part of the historical event, a commemorative range of chinaware has been produced by the Royal Collection Trust.

The handmade collection has been designed and created especially to mark the Queen's Platinum Jubilee, and has already gone on sale to the public.

Created by the Royal Collection Trust, the chinaware collection is made using English fine bone china and methods dating back 250 years.

Made in Stoke-on-Trent, the colour and design of the collection has been inspired by the Queen's Robe of Estate, which she wore on the day of her Coronation on June 2, 1953.

The designs includes golden ears of olive, wheat and leaves, which symbolise peace and plenty.

The pieces also hold a coat of arms with the national emblems of the UK including roses, shamrocks, thistles and daffodils.

The chinaware also symbolises stability and longevity, which is created by the boarder of oak leaves – an emblem of strength.

You can purchase pieces from the Queen's Platinum Jubilee collection now, with prices starting at £2.95.
