Wedgwood Tricolour Commemorative Goblet, Bermuda And United States Seals, Silver Jubilee 1977

Wedgwood tricolour blue jasperware diced goblet, Bermuda and United States seals, No. 442/500, Silver Jubilee 1977

An absolutely spectacular limited edition Wedgwood commemorative cup, created to celebrate Queen Elizabeth II’s 1977 Silver Jubilee. This historic piece of royal memorabilia is a rare tricolour jasperware chalice in blue, sage, and white, numbered 442 out of just 500 produced. It is a fine example of late 20th-century Wedgwood craftsmanship, highly sought after by collectors of royal commemoratives and historic memorabilia.

The body of the chalice is decorated with detailed white bas-relief designs featuring the Great Seal of the United States and the coat of arms of Bermuda with the motto Quo Fata Ferunt (“Whither the Fates Carry Us”). These are framed by delicate floral swags suspended from classical medallions. A laurel wreath frieze runs around the upper rim against a sage green ground, symbolising honour and victory. Beneath, the lower body and broad foot are richly decorated with a diced pattern of tiny green ivy leaves set in lozenge-shaped panels, representing fidelity and endurance. The broad foot is further embellished with an acanthus leaf border, a Neoclassical motif often symbolising immortality and resilience.

Impressed marks to the base: "WEDGWOOD", "Made in England", "No. 442 HB", and "77".

This is a very rare commemorative version. While many Jubilee cups feature portraits of Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh, this chalice celebrates a broader history — the deep, enduring connections between Britain, Bermuda, and the United States.

The goblet remains in immaculate condition, with no signs of use and superb crisp detail throughout.

Historical Background
This goblet commemorates not just Queen Elizabeth II’s 25 years on the throne, but the lasting ties between Britain, Bermuda, and the United States. Bermuda, a loyal British Overseas Territory, played a crucial role in supporting early American colonies and maintained close connections with the USA even after independence. Including both the Bermuda coat of arms and the Great Seal of the United States reflects centuries of shared history, friendship, and alliance — fitting symbols for a Jubilee celebrating heritage and unity across the Atlantic.
