Queen Elizabeth II Commemorative

Materials Description

We only source the very finest, British materials at Victoria Eggs. Everything is handmade here in the UK.

Cotton Textiles

We use ethically-sourced traceable cotton, printed with environmentally friendly water-based inks. Fully recyclable.

Our unbleached cotton is printed on both sides, using water-based inks.

We are able to trace all our fabrics back to where the yarn is sourced, processed, spun and woven.

It's then delivered to West Yorkshire, ready to be finished and washed and is then sent to Lincolnshire in 200 metre rolls, before being cut down to size.

Then the cotton is then cleaned again to make sure that it's ready for our printing process. This is an important step to ensure that the quality of the image is clear and takes to the fabric.


Like with all our products we use minimal packaging, all made from paper or card which can be easily recycled.

Ceramics

Handcrafted from Cornish Clay in Staffordshire using sustainable materials and processes.

Our ceramics are made by hand here in the UK by Duchess China, a Staffordshire based ceramics manufacturer that have been hand crafting ceramics since 1888. Supporting independent British businesses has been important to Victoria Eggs from day one, so Duchess China was a natural choice for the making of Victoria Eggs’ ceramics.

The clay that is used to make the fine bone china comes from St. Austell, Cornwall, and one of the key elements to making the bone china super strong is through the use of bone ash. This ash is recycled from a local butchery and would ordinarily go to landfill. Instead, it's used in the crafting process.

To ensure as little waste as possible during this process, any mugs created which don't meet our exacting standards (we're looking for absolute perfection here), are then sent to a local tile company, who reuse and recycle the clay.
