Description from the seller

Royal Albert “Old Country Roses” Tea Set – Bone China – England – 6 Cups & Saucers – Classic English Floral

A beautiful and timeless tea set by Royal Albert in the iconic “Old Country Roses” pattern, one of the most recognised and highly collected English bone china designs worldwide.

The set is richly decorated with vibrant red, pink, and golden yellow roses, complemented by lush green foliage on a warm ivory ground. Each piece is finished with elegant gold gilding along the rims, handles, and edges, giving the set its signature refined and luxurious appearance.

Introduced in 1962, “Old Country Roses” remains one of Royal Albert’s most celebrated patterns, valued for its classic English charm and enduring popularity among collectors.

Set includes:
6 cups
6 matching saucers

All pieces are matching and form a cohesive and visually striking set.

Marking:
Marked “Old Country Roses – Royal Albert – Bone China – England”.
No year mark present, typical for this pattern.
Late 20th century production.
Authentic Royal Albert, made in England.


Condition:
Overall in good to very good vintage condition.

One cup has a visible hairline crack, noticeable both inside and outside. It appears to have been previously stabilised and remains firm, making it suitable for display. The flaw is visible but does not significantly distract from the overall presentation of the set.

All other pieces are in very good condition with no cracks or chips observed.
Light age-related wear to the gilding is present in places, consistent with use and age.

Please refer carefully to the photographs for full condition details.

Origin: England
Material: Fine bone china

A classic and highly collectible Royal Albert set, offering timeless English elegance and strong decorative appeal.
