Royal Albert

Royal Albert at TSC

Established in 1904, Royal Albert is one of the most popular producers of fine china. Their patterns are easily recognized everywhere and their quality is unmatched. Though they are still in production today, many collectors seek out old pieces and patterns. The love and appreciation for their romantic, floral, and exuberant designs is strong and obvious. The brand itself was originally inspired by the national flower of England - the rose. The rose has always been a symbol of elegance, beauty, and grace. They hoped to translate this to their China and they were, of course, quite successful. It all began in a small community of six tiny towns that make up “Stroke-on-Trent.” Thomas Wild was the originator and it was his exceptional ability and hard work that earned the area the infamous nickname - “the potteries.” Today, they try to fuse these original intentions and designs with a modern, chic feel. Their modern creations offer the best of both worlds as you add a touch of contemporary class to your home. What began as a simple line of breakfast teacups has become a huge and legendary collection that spans many categories. You can get everything from teacups and saucers of all sizes to flatware sets, full tea sets with a kettle, serving plates, and more. Many original designs are still available for purchase but so many other colors, patterns, and collections have come out over the years. You could spend hours browsing their huge, beautiful selection. From simple florals with a white background to solid colors with patterns, there’s something to suit everyone’s style. Whether you’re a collector, you want them as decor, or you want to throw a fancy tea party, Royal Albert lets you hold an unprecedented legacy and years of history in your hands.
