Royal Albert’s “Old Country Roses” tableware design is one of the most popular bone china patterns of all time. It has sold over 150 million pieces since it was introduced in 1962. The success of Royal Albert, founded in 1896, billows from its quintessentially English grace and elegance and its sense of timeless, romantic fantasy. These qualities are reflected through the delicate floral decoration and flowing curves.Designed 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.
With the ability to hold up to 48-ounces, this Old Country Roses teapot from Royal Albert will easily become the focal point of any table. The perfect complement to the matching teacups and saucers, the crisp whiteness of the vessel gracefully showcases the cascading country roses in shades of pink and soft yellow. Set on a bed of greenery, the delicate flowers resemble those growing in a classic English garden. A gracefully arched spout and handle and an elaborate lid add a feeling of refinement, while 22-carat gold accents complete the elegant design. For best results, Royal Albert recommends washing fine bone 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…
