Glass Loving Cup, for the Coronation of George V and Queen Mary 1911

About the Item

Lead crystal Loving cup, Coronation of George V and Queen Mary, June 22nd, 1911. Made for the retailer Thomas Goode. A traditional threepenny bit is set in the hollow stem, a nice indication of the skill of the glass-blower. George V was born on June 3, 1865, the second son of Prince Albert Edward, later King Edward VII, and Queen Alexandra. He became King of the United Kingdom in 1910 following the death of his father. George V was known for his strong sense of duty and dedication to public service. During his reign, he witnessed significant political and social changes, including World War I and the transformation of the British Empire into the Commonwealth of Nations. He was also known for his steadfast support of the British monarchy during a period of political turmoil. George V married Princess Mary of Teck, who became known as Queen Mary upon his accession to the throne. Queen Mary, born on May 26, 1867, was known for her elegance, dignity, and devotion to duty. She played a prominent role in supporting her husband during his reign and was actively involved in charitable work and royal duties. Queen Mary was also known for her keen interest in the arts and her patronage of various cultural institutions. Together, George V and Queen Mary had six children, including Edward VIII, who briefly reigned as King before abdicating, and George VI, who succeeded his brother as King. George V reigned until his death on January 20, 1936. Queen Mary lived on until March 24, 1953, witnessing the reigns of her son George VI and her granddaughter, Queen Elizabeth II. Throughout their lives, George V and Queen Mary maintained a strong commitment to their roles as monarchs and left a lasting legacy on the British monarchy.
