Description from the seller
Royal Albert “Moss Rose” – 14-Piece English Bone China Tea Service – c.1950s–1960s
A beautiful vintage 14-piece Royal Albert “Moss Rose” tea service, crafted in England in fine bone china and decorated with one of Royal Albert’s charming mid-century floral designs. The Moss Rose pattern was introduced in 1947, with later versions appearing from the 1950s, and remained in production for many decades. (Replacements)
This elegant service displays abundant sprays of soft pink and deep rose flowers, delicate blue blossoms and fresh green foliage, beautifully arranged against luminous white bone china. Fine hand-applied-style gold detailing follows the scalloped rims, handles and footed forms, giving the service the unmistakably romantic character associated with classic Royal Albert English tableware.
The centrepiece is the impressive lidded teapot, accompanied by a large decorative serving platter and four matching tea settings. Together they create a wonderfully coordinated service suitable for afternoon tea, display, or addition to an established Moss Rose collection.
The 14-piece set comprises:
* 1 lidded teapot
* 4 teacups
* 4 matching saucers
* 4 dessert / side plates
* 1 large serving platter
Large platter: approximately 30 × 28 cm
Teapot: approximately 19.5 cm high × 27 cm wide
The pieces carry the authentic Royal Albert – Bone China – England – “Moss Rose” crown backstamp. Royal Albert used “Bone China” wording on its wares from the mid-1930s onward, with numerous variations of the familiar crown mark appearing throughout the mid-20th century. (Royal Albert Patterns)

Condition
Presented in good vintage condition, displaying beautifully overall. The teacups show some tea/coffee staining and signs of previous use to the interiors, as clearly shown in the photographs. One dessert/side plate is darker/discoloured compared with the others, and the large platter has some marks consistent with age and use. There may also be light age-related wear to the gilding and minor surface signs expected from vintage tableware.
Please examine all photographs carefully, as they form an important part of the condition description.
A graceful and highly decorative example of mid-century English Royal Albert bone china, combining the celebrated Moss Rose floral pattern with elegant scalloped forms and gold accents.
