This is a shell that will be expensive!
On the occasion of the Platinum Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II, who will celebrate her 70th anniversary on February 6, a Chinese company has produced thousands of tableware items… with a typo.
Indeed, 10,000 tea sets, mugs and plates bear the mention “Platinum Jubbly”, reports the
BBC
relayed by
CNews
.
The exact spelling being “Platinum Jubilee”, the British partner of the company obviously did not follow up on the order of the famous souvenirs.
Looks like Del Boy is knocking out Queen Liz Jubbly merch.

A lot resold ten times cheaper
Without a buyer, the Chinese company then decided to sell this colossal lot to Wholesale Clearance, a wholesale resale site.
The misprinted crockery items are now on sale for 32,400 pounds sterling (nearly 39,000 euros), ten times less than their original price.
Interviewed by the
BBC
, the director of the wholesale resale website took the matter with great humor.
“What could be more unique than our misprinted tableware?
", did he declare.
Will these articles with a fault become collectors items?
The future will tell.
