Guest IMHF Posted April 9, 2011 Posted April 9, 2011 Iraqi Kingdom King Faisel II Palace China Royal Family 1932-1958 -Wedgwood Bone China Made in England Thank you for viewing Lorenzo
922F Posted April 9, 2011 Posted April 9, 2011 Great find Lorenzo!! After the '56 revolution, a couple of the photo-journals like Life had spreads on the palace wreckage showing lots of shattered china, crystal & furniture as well as defaced paintings. To find a surviving piece of china must be quite rare. A complete 'example' set of the palace crystal was [and may still be] on display at the Bacarrat crystal museum in Paris.

The 14 July 1958 Revolution was very disturbing to me, here is an image that a friend sent me on that day. Lorenzo

I passed on them but they should be coming up on auction here soon. They are very beautiful; I am just more of a Medals and Orders Guy the price asked for them was not bad, I just don’t like the fact how rare china can be reproduced. Thank you Lorenzo
