Description from the seller
An absolutely beautiful and highly collectible “Old Country Roses” tea set by Royal Albert, crafted in fine English bone china and decorated in one of the most iconic and beloved floral patterns ever produced.
First introduced in 1962, Old Country Roses became a true symbol of classic English elegance and refined afternoon tea tradition. Adorned with magnificent clusters of deep red, pink, and golden yellow roses, each piece is enhanced with rich hand-applied gold gilding along the graceful scalloped edges, giving the set a luxurious and timeless presence.
This charming and wonderfully coordinated set includes:
• 4 trios (teacup, saucer, and side plate)
• Elegant 2-tier cake stand
• Milk jug with underplate
• Sugar bowl with underplate
Dimensions:
• Cake stand height: approx. 23 cm
• Plate diameters: approx. 20.5 cm and 15.5 cm
Expertly crafted in England, this set beautifully captures the romance and sophistication of traditional English tea service. Whether used for elegant afternoon tea, special gatherings, luxurious table presentation, or displayed as part of a distinguished collection, it brings warmth, refinement, and vintage charm into any interior.
The elevated 2-tier cake stand creates a particularly striking presentation for pastries, desserts, cakes, or afternoon tea delicacies, making the set not only functional but also exceptionally decorative. The vibrant floral decoration combined with the luminous fine bone china and brilliant gilding creates a truly eye-catching and graceful appearance.
This is a very special set that reflects the exceptional artistry and craftsmanship for which Royal Albert is admired worldwide. A timeless collection piece perfect for lovers of English bone china, vintage tea ware, and elegant display pieces.
Condition:
Good vintage condition with age-related signs of use and minor wear to the gilding in places, consistent with age and careful use. The set presents beautifully overall and displays wonderfully.
