Royal Albert – Flower of the Month Series (c. 1970s–1980s) Complete Collection of 12 Four-Piece Place Settings – 48 Pieces An exceptional and increasingly scarce complete Royal Albert Flower of the Month Series collection, produced in England during the 1970s–1980s, comprising all twelve months of the year in the highly desirable four-piece format. This remarkable collection includes a complete place setting for every month: • 12 Cups (9 cm diameter × 6 cm height) • 12 Saucers (14 cm diameter) • 12 Side Plates (16 cm diameter) • 12 Dessert Plates (20.5 cm diameter) Total: 48 pieces Unlike the more commonly encountered cup-and-saucer sets, this collection features the complete four-piece arrangement for every month from January through December, making it a significantly rarer and more desirable acquisition for serious Royal Albert collectors. Each month is beautifully decorated with its corresponding seasonal flower, creating a magnificent botanical calendar in fine English bone china. The collection showcases Royal Albert’s renowned craftsmanship through richly coloured floral artwork, elegant fluted forms, delicate handles and refined hand-applied gold edging. When displayed together, the twelve settings create a breathtaking visual journey through the seasons. From the delicate Snowdrop of January and Lily of the Valley of May to the vibrant Chrysanthemum of November and festive December blooms, every setting possesses its own distinctive charm while contributing to the beauty of the complete collection. Finding individual months is relatively achievable; finding all twelve months together is considerably more difficult. Acquiring the complete twelve-month series with matching cups, saucers, side plates and dessert plates is exceptionally rare and seldom offered as a single lot.
