Video: Inside official Royal wedding china factory

 

Employees at a factory in Stoke-on-Trent that is producing hand-guilded fine
bone china cups and plates for the Royal wedding say they are proud to be
involved in the process.

The company has just put the finishing touches to the Loving Cup - one of only
1,000 to be made.

The two-handled cup is new to the Official Royal Wedding Commemorative China
collection and bears the entwined initials C and W, for Kate - or Catherine
- Middleton and Prince William. It also features the coronet of Prince
William and the wedding date.

Unlike commemorative items for Prince Charles and Diana's wedding, the design
does not feature photographs of the couple. Instead the cup is decorated
with a pattern of doves, white ribbons and hearts in silver, gold and grey,
set against a pale grey striped background.

Prince William is set to marry Kate Middleton at Wesminister Abbey on April 29.
