Royal Albert Old Country Roses Tea For TwoLage Teapot +2 Tea Cups+2 Saucers/New

  

Old Country Roses was designed by Harold Holdcroft, Royal Albert's Art Director at the time. He based his design on the 1921 Royal Albert King's Ransom pattern, while drawing additional inspiration from the rich colours and fragrant roses in full bloom in an English cottage garden. Harold developed the Old Country Roses pattern using both rich and soft colours, combining lush deep red roses with warmth from a peach tea rose, and delicacy from the blush pink, accentuating the composition with rich green foliage. Further enhanced by the traditional Royal Albert Montrose shape, with its attractive scalloped edges and twisted and curled detailed handles, this quintessentially English classic collection was born. Brilliant gold stippling and 22-carat gilded rims complete the design, creating one of the most exuberant expressions of Royal Albert's acclaimed century-long, floral tradition.

Overwhelmingly popular throughout the world, Old Country Roses is regarded as the epitome of fine English teaware. This perfect Tea for Two set includes a wonderfully elegant fine bone china teapot with traditional curved shape and refined 22 carat gold trim and details on the beautifully crafted handle and spout. The timeless Old Country Roses pattern evokes an image of a cottage garden with roses in full bloom and the two teacups and saucers complete a set that is quintessentially English in style and ideal for enjoying the most traditional of rituals, tea for two. This set makes a special gift or treat for oneself bringing timeless style to the home. 2 x tea cups and saucers.
