AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Royal Albert – “Moss Rose” – Bone China Dinner Plates (Set of 4) – England, 1956
A beautiful and authentic set of four Royal Albert bone china dinner plates in the highly collectible “Moss Rose” pattern, clearly dated to 1956, as confirmed by the original backstamp:
“ROYAL ALBERT – Bone China – England – Moss Rose – C.1956 Royal Albert Ltd.”
This 1956 production firmly places the plates in the mid-20th century, making them especially desirable to collectors seeking dated Royal Albert pieces, rather than later reissues.

Key Details
• Manufacturer: Royal Albert (England)
• Pattern: Moss Rose
• Year: 1956 (clearly marked)
• Material: Fine bone china
• Quantity: 4 dinner plates
• Diameter: 26.5 cm
• Decoration: Soft pink roses with blue floral accents, scalloped rim, finished with a delicate gold edge
• Period: 1950s vintage production
⸻
Condition
Overall, the plates are in good vintage condition. One plate shows a light brown stain line on the surface, visible on close inspection but not affecting appearance or usability. Very fine black dots are present on the surface of three plates; these are extremely subtle and only noticeable upon close examination.
One plate has a very small, fine chip on the back, not visible from the front. Additionally, two plates show tiny glaze-related chips, which are very difficult to see and do not affect stability or display.
Apart from the brown stain on one plate, all other imperfections are hard to notice. The plates remain stable, attractive, and fully functional, with no cracks or repairs. (Please see photographs.)
⸻
Collector’s Note
The 1956 backstamp is a key highlight of this set. Dated Royal Albert “Moss Rose” pieces are increasingly sought after, representing original post-war English bone china craftsmanship, distinct from later mass-produced versions.
⸻
Perfect for Collectors and Display
An excellent choice for vintage English tableware collections, elegant afternoon tea, or for completing an original 1950s Royal Albert Moss Rose service.
