In some "circles" Royal Albert was the ONLY bone china to have if you wanted to be considered part of 'the group'.
Royal Albert is elegant, classy and just the name is sure to impress.
Well known for their extremely popular Country Roses series, Royal Albert produced much more than Country Roses, this creamer jug is from the much more recent Val D'or design, produced from the early 1960's until the early 2000's
It could be described as having traditional finnesse, elegance without the fancy frills. Plain, pure White bone china, usually with little decoration. In fact this creamer jug has no decoration other than the Gold gilding ... some might say "gild edged luxury for the ordinary tabletop"
DLAT RATING: 9.0/10 (Darling! Look At This!)
