Aynsley pottery Moon Landing Commemorative set


Commemorate the landing on the moon by U.S. astronauts Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong on July 20th, 1969 with this beautiful pedestal dish and pedestal globe pair produced in 1969 by the renowned Aynsley ceramics company shortly after the actual landing on the moon. This stunning pair features gold gilded detailing throughout. The globe includes the script around the circumference: “To Commemorate Man's Greatest Achievement”, and within a gold border on the front: “The Landing on the Moon”, and on the opposite side: “by U.S.A. Astronauts in Apollo 11 July 20th 1969”. The globe stands 5.5” high. The pedestal dish, measuring 5.5” in diameter, includes the same inscriptions in gold. The landing on the moon is a remarkable and historic achievement that is perhaps man's most significant accomplishment of the 20th century. It is the culmination of president John F. Kennedy and the American people's resolve to strive for and achieve astonishing feats thought to be impossible. The Aynsley China Company has been producing some of the world's finest English china since its establishment by John Aynsley in 1775. Mr. Aynsley quickly established a reputation for producing exquisite bone china pottery. As John Aynsley progressed in age, he eventually bestowed his company upon his son, James, who eventually placed control of the company in the capable hands of his son, John Aynsley II, who took the company to heights his father and grandfather could have only dreamed of. He implemented such innovations as incorporating 'calcined bone ash' into the porcelain compound, giving his pottery exceptional strength, translucence, and pure white color.
