Product Description

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 elegant Montrose shape, graceful floral ornamentation, rich feminine colors, and a grace and elegance that is uniquely English. This dinnerware set is the perfect way to start off a collection that will last a lifetime and never go out of style.

This 20-piece service for four includes four dinner plates, four salad plates, four bread and butter plates, and four teacups and saucers. Each dish is crafted from the finest bone china and has been richly adorned by hand with 22-carat gold. For best results, Royal Albert recommends washing by hand. --Lea Werbel

Factory packaging or Amazon caused some items to be delivered broken. We've been back and forth with Amazon three times and still don't have it sorted out yet.
unsure if it is real
 
Review Date: April 5, 2009
Reviewer: Jo - just jo,
I bought this set after Christmas. The price was better than any of the stores I checked. Everything arrived in great condition in a Royal Doulton box. My mom just gave me all of her OCR china. I notice that the roses, especially the yellow ones, on the china that I bought from Amazon are not nearly as detailed as the roses on her china. The roses on my mom's china are smooth and the roses on the new china have a printed dot texture to them. Also the gold trim on my mom's dishes is much larger than the trim on the new ones. I am unsure if the china that I bought from Amazon is real. I will not buy china here again.
