Royal Albert’s Old Country Roses is one of the most popular bone china patterns ever produced. A design classic, with a lavish 22-carat gold border is adorned by English roses; Old Country Roses has an enduring appeal for those with a passion for florals and a taste for nostalgia and vintage-chic. Over 150 million pieces of Old Country roses have been sold worldwide since its introduction in 1962.Designed originally in 1962 by Harold Holdcroft, Royal Albert’s Old Country Roses has become one of the most popular china patterns in the company’s century-long history. The sumptuous design is enhanced by the sophisticated shape, graceful floral ornamentation, rich feminine colors, and a style and elegance that are uniquely English.
This matching 3-piece tea set from Royal Albert beautifully complements the entire line of Old Country Roses tableware pieces. The classically shaped 6-cup teapot, 10-ounce sugar bowl, and 8-ounce creamer, each are regally edged with a hand-trimmed border of 22-carat gold. With matching rounded bowls and ornately fashioned handles and spouts, each piece in the set also stands upon a small footed base. The crisp whiteness of the bone china gracefully showcases the decorative pink and golden yellow country roses as they cascade down the side of each vessel. Set on a bed of greenery, the delicate flowers resemble those growing in a classic English garden.
The 6-cup teapot stands 8 inches high and measures 10-1/2 inches from handle to spout, the 10-ounce sugar bowl stands 4-1/2 inches high and measures 5-1/2 inches from handle to handle, and the 8-ounce creamer stands 4-1/2 inches high and measures 4-3/4 inches from handle to spout. While the set is dishwasher-safe, for best results, Royal Albert recommends washing fine china by hand. –Lea Werbel

Stunning My husband and I got this as a birthday gift from his mom. She was so thrilled when she received it she called gushing at how beautiful it is. She even said that she wouldn’t use it because of how pretty it is, but we convinced her that we wanted her to, now she uses it every morning. We couldn’t be happier with this purchase, Royal Albert items never disappoint.
Good price, lovely product I read the other reviews while waiting for it to arrive. I notice that the lid to the teapot sits onlyone way and has to be gently rotated for it to drop down into the correct position. Mine was packedto arrive in the expected number of pieces. I ran my hands all over each piece, not detectingany defects or flaws in painting to suggest these were seconds. Good price, lovely product,and I am delighted.
Not authentic English made Item Have another tea pot previously ( made in England ) however the set you will receive from this company is made elsewhere. The coloring is much lighter on the roses and the pot it self is larger and not so quaint in sculpture as original England made Company. If you hadn’t owned any Country Rose items before you won’t notice the differences, maybe. I needed an additional tea pot lid so I won’t go to the trouble of sending it back but wouldn’t order anything from them again. I got what I paid…
