Additional Information : This glass was made to celebrate the coronation of Edward VIII known as “The King That Never Was”. He was king from January to December 1936 a far longer period than Lady Jane Grey who claimed the throne for little more than a week. She ended her days in the Tower and he lived out his days with the American in exile. This all sounds too familiar.
