AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A timeless and highly sought-after tea service in the iconic Old Country Roses pattern by Royal Albert, one of the most celebrated designs in English bone china. Introduced in 1962, this pattern is renowned for its rich clusters of deep red, pink, and golden-yellow roses, framed by lush green foliage and enhanced with elegant hand-applied 22-carat gold gilding.
This beautifully coordinated set embodies the essence of traditional English tea culture, combining refined form with vibrant decoration. The gracefully shaped teapot, delicately fluted cups, scalloped saucers, and matching serving pieces create a harmonious and luxurious presentation.
