Product Description

Amazon.com Review

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

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended, September 13, 2005

I bought this primarily because I figured I could not go wrong at the price it was offered at. Amazon is selling this set for far cheaper than anyone else online. I was really very pleased when this product arrived today. I bought this as a Christmas gift for my Mother and she is going to be blown away. The tea pot is large, not overly, but it is certainly not a dainty piece. The cream and sugar pieces are lovely. Very high quality detailing, the gold is not gawdy. Comes very very well packaged. I am glad I bought some other pieces to match on a whim, hoping that the tea set would be beautiful. I received the matching tea cups and coffee pot. Also beautiful though the coffee pot did not come in its own packing box (it did arrive intact). If you are looking for a lovely piece of china that is proud to display but usable for company, I highly recommend this set.

The exact same set is available from Dillards here in Tulsa and the price is over $200 just for the teapot. I bought it for my mother who has been wanting it since the 80's. I gave it to her for Christmas and she cried. It's got the original 1962 Royal Albert stamp on each piece. Comes brand new in royal albert boxes. It is the fine style of China not the version that is machine made in China. I bought her some of that too. She noticed the difference right away. The other items do not have the 1962 stamp and are pretty, but not the same. The tea set was a hit. We love it.
