The Tea Cup has a silver edged rim with the exterior rim inscription “To Commemorate The Silver Jubilee of Their Gracious Reign” on a pale yellow background. The Cup’s reverse has the dates “1910 – 1935”.

The Cup’s exquisitely designed handle is made up of a sprig of Thistle, Rose and Shamrock representing the national flora of England, Scotland & Ireland.
