Royal Albert Old Country Roses

Royal Albert Old Country Roses , designed by Harold Holdcroft in 1962, is the most popular dinnerware pattern in the world.

Now a part ot the rich Royal Albert china history, this English garden rose inspired design, with its elegant Montrose shaping and hand-applied gold edging, has been gracing tables the world over.  It's something that's suited different lifestyles for decades past, and should do so for decades to come.

Sophisticated and welcoming, Royal Albert Old Country Roses  (Part of Royal Doulton) is an unmistakably English and timelessly beautiful way to set the table for intimate or grand occasions. Starting with pure white Montrose bone china, the pattern features lush borders and central clusters of full-bloom roses in dark pink, light pink, and yellow. Highly romantic, the flowers are accented with delicate leaves and occasional accenting backdrops of soft green. Royal Albert adds hand-applied 22-carat gold trim to each piece for a lustrous antiqued effect. An extensive selection of pieces for teatime and multi-course meals, the pattern also includes coordinating giftware. Washing by hand is recommended for best results.

In addition to dinnerware, the Old Country Roses pattern has been licensed around the world for use in the production of a wide range of non-ceramic tableware, gifts and home accessories, including categories such as: flatware, figurines, and much more.
