OT: Can anyone identify the china in the Paddington Bear skit? It's beautiful.
My first thought was that perhaps it's Wedgwood.

I looked on their website and they hold a Royal Warrant which was issued to them by Queen Elizabeth II in 1995.

The china QE shares with Paddington may be a discontinued pattern but might be worth contacting Wedgwood? Let us know how you get on!
Maybe check replacements.com They have hard to find china, you can also put in an "email me when available".
 
This article contains info and tons of pictures about HMTQ's closet and events throughout her entire life.

Maggie, Thank you for so much posting this, probably never would‘ve known about it without your sharing. It must be amazing to walk onto that floor and become immersed in mostly vibrant color. To do the cataloguing of all of it is monumental, I wonder how many different ways things are sorted. And then there’s the jewelry to coordinate. The only simple parts are shoes and handbags.

You're most welcome. Angela Kelly, who is HM's dresser keeps a full inventory of her clothes labelling each article with the date last worn and occasion attended so there is no repeating an article (suit, dress, gown, coat/hat) for the similar function at a later date. AK also sorts HM clothes prior to every event HM attends.
She has written 2 books:
1. The Other Side of the Coin: The Queen, the Dresser and the Wardrobe
2. Dressing the Queen: The Jubilee Wardrobe
