The second coronation plate is square with scalloped corners. In the center of the plate is a grisaille portrait of Edward VIII inside a blue cartouche. Undulating ribbons decorate the four edges of the plate, each inscribed with "Dieu Et Mon Droit". The back is stamped "Wedgwood". The commemorative conical shaped flute has eight rows of tapered v-grooves at its base. On the front of the glass, "Crowned May 12TH, 1937" is etched along with Edward VIII's coronation crown, his initials are etched on the back. The semi-scalloped edged plate- which commemorates George VI and Queen Elizabeth's visit to the United States and Canada- is executed in a rich cream color and decorated with a sky blue band tracing its rim. A thicker blue band encircles a central portrait of George VI and Queen Elizabeth along with images of the United States and Canada's Capitol buildings, as well as the flags of America, Great Britain and Canada. Beneath the portrait is text describing the details of the visit surrounded by a garland of maple leaves. The back of the plate is stamped "Royal Staffordshire Pottery".
