Harry and Markle are making a trip to Northern Ireland as part of their pre-wedding tour of the United Kingdom.

The china is finished in 22 carat gold. It was made by hand in Stoke-on-Trent, 160 miles (260 kilometers) northwest of London, using traditional methods.

Profits go to the Royal Collection Trust charity.

The news of the china comes one day after the couple’s wedding invitation big reveal.
