HISTORY:
My wife "collects" fabulous fancy chinaware but she also has her "everyday" china that looks stylish but is not pretentious! These Royal Albert trio's were part of those everyday teasets that would be bought out when it was nice to sip a cuppa from a classy teacup but not one that is way "over-dressed"!
DLAT RATING: 9.9/10 (Darling Look At This!)
Smooth, nice clean pure White base colouring with small, soft posies of Blue & Pink flowers in a band near the rim of the teacup and saucer. Decorated very gently, no screaming from this duo "Look At Me, Look At Me!"
DLAT Rating 9.5/10 (Darling Look At This!)
