Description from the seller

Royal Albert “Moonlight Rose” Lidded Vase – Fine Bone China – England – 1987 – Rare and Elegant Collector’s Piece

A truly captivating and refined lidded vase by Royal Albert, expertly crafted in fine English bone china and adorned in the highly desirable “Moonlight Rose” pattern.

Elegantly formed with a softly fluted silhouette, this piece embodies timeless English sophistication. It is richly decorated with deep cobalt blue and soft lilac roses, intertwined with delicate foliage, creating a striking yet harmonious contrast against the luminous ivory ground. The gently scalloped rim and beautifully sculpted lid, enhanced with subtle gold gilding, add a refined and regal finish.

“Moonlight Rose” is recognised as one of the more distinctive and less commonly encountered Royal Albert patterns. Its deeper, more dramatic palette sets it apart from traditional floral designs, making it particularly sought after by collectors. Decorative forms such as this lidded vase are especially desirable and not frequently found.

Dating to 1987, as indicated by the base mark, this piece represents a fine example of late 20th century English ceramic craftsmanship.

A beautiful cabinet piece, ideal for collectors or as a luxurious decorative accent.

Condition
Excellent vintage condition.
Very minimal signs of use, with only light, age-related wear to the gilding in places.
