Lot 339: A Set of Royal Albert Old Country Roses Pattern Bone China Tableware

A collection of fine bone china tableware in the Old Country Roses pattern by Royal Albert. The set is decorated with transfer-printed clusters of burgundy, pink, and yellow roses against a white ground, complemented by green foliage. Each piece features a scalloped rim finished with hand-applied sponged gold gilding. The group includes dinner plates, salad plates, side plates, teacups in the Montrose shape, saucers, a creamer, an open sugar bowl, salt and pepper shakers, and a small oval dish. The base of the creamer and plates bear a printed mark in pink and green featuring a crown device; while the specific text is not clearly legible at this resolution, the combination of the distinctive floral arrangements, the Montrose cup profile, and the characteristic sponged gilding confirms the manufacturer as Royal Albert.
