As a designer the thing that niggles for me is the fact that the unicorn is too small. The whole thing looks unbalanced, as if the unicorn is sliding off the edge. Of course the real ones may be the same!

I found it! nostalgiacentral.com/pop-culture/food-drink/jubbly-2/

In the late 50s early 60s you could buy an orange drink called Jubbly. It was best frozen. It came in triangular pyramid shaped cardboard. It was marketed as Lubbly Jubbly. Maybe HM has an interest???

Made in China.

No its not made in China www.royalcollectionshop.co.uk/chinaware/collection/the-platinum-jubilee.html. Yes folks who do us down, much lovely pottery still made here, yes in Staffordshire. One of my ancestors involved in this skill.

I understand it was made in China - I agree, it will probably be more valuable in the future than anything without the spelling mistake!

She looks like Mrs Warboyes! ?

The picture of the Queen is so funny - considering she's the most photographed woman in the world couldn't they have done a better job!

I'd buy one grin

The picture of the Queen looks a bit odd too. Is the plate made abroad and imported?

Yammy Wed 02-Feb-22 09:19:49

Who knows it might end up more valuable than a good copy. Like the odd stamp or coin that is now worth more than the originals. I still would not buy it.

It gave me a laugh yesterday when I saw it on the BBC News site.

FannyCornforth Wed 02-Feb-22 09:10:13

I would definitely buy that

Something Del Boy would say

Was it made in China?

Oopsadaisy1 Wed 02-Feb-22 08:39:35

No.
Difficult to see how it got through so many checks in the manufacturing process without this being spotted, but I quite like the term Jubbly!

No.
