Amazon.com Review
As it embarks on a new century of fine china design, Royal Albert honors the artistic achievements of the one it has so faithfully chronicled with this stunning 100 Years of Royal Albert tribute collection. Employing classic shapes and delicate floral motifs, the 10-part series, which includes teaware, figurines, and brooches, recalls major British historical events and style trends from each decade of the 21st century. Inspiration for the series came from previous Royal Albert designs and its archive pattern books.
This 1940 "English Chintz" tea set includes a teapot, covered sugar bowl, and creamer and was chosen to be the first tea service of the series. Crafted of bone china with luxurious 22-karat gold trim on the bases, handles, and pour spout, the design represent a decade that endured World War II with Britain rallying under the leadership of Winston Churchill. This motif showcases a typical chintz design of the time with sprays of roses and forget-me-nots in a soft palette of pink, blue, and purple on an ivory crackle background. Scalloped rims and gentle contouring add to the homey yet graceful feel. Each piece has a special commemorative backstamp, and the set comes packaged in a presentation-style pink and burgundy hatbox with depictions of all the patterns. The china is dishwasher-safe and carries a two-year warranty. --Kara Karll

Nice set,

This review is from: Royal Albert 100 Years of Royal Albert 3-Piece Tea Set, 1940 ?English Chintz (Kitchen)
This is a pretty teaset, well-detailed, full-sized, with an attractive chintz pattern. Wish that Royal Doulton hadn't stopped its production of English-made china. As it is made in Indonesia, it is acceptable quality at a rather premium price. Would recommend.

This review is from: Royal Albert 100 Years of Royal Albert 3-Piece Tea Set, 1940 ?English Chintz (Kitchen)
Frustratingly, the advertiser does not state the size of the tea pot therefore one has to guess at it's size which has put me off. It would also be helpful to know what stamp it holds. Appears to be a good deal but 2 strikes and they are out for me!
