Royal Albert
100 Years of Royal Albert
1940 English Chintz 3-Piece Set
Chintz is quintessential 1940s style and it's brought to life here in the rich tapestry of roses, forget-me-nots, and violets on this daintily designed fine bone china. There's a subtle hint of lilac in the background tint, and the set is finished off with gold trim edging, with solid bands on the teacup handle and foot. The design was created from a combination of two archive references - 1523 and 2041 - which are similar in style with a crackle effect background.

A Brand Worth Celebrating...The success of Royal Albert dates back to 1896, when Thomas Clarke Wild (with his father) bought the Albert Works in Longton, Stoke-on-Trent -- a factory given its title to commemorate the birth of Prince Albert a year earlier. A year later, in 1897, Thomas Wild & Co produced a range of commemorative pieces for Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee, an association with royalty that continues to this day. Nine years later, in 1906, the company name "Royal Albert Limited" was registered. Since then, Royal Albert has enjoyed a rich history -- with signature designs based on traditional English gardens (the most famous of which is "Old Country Roses" introduced in 1962). The success of the brand is attributed to the high quality and durability of its products, as well as their broad consumer appeal. Today, Royal Albert accounts for nearly 20% of the entire global market for English bone china, and is exported to 53 countries around the world.
A Worthy Collection...Launched to celebrate a century of English craftsmanship, the 100 Years of Royal Albert Collection is truly one-of-a-kind. Ten distinctive patterns pay tribute to the Royal Albert brand's vitality, longevity and rich design history by combining classic shapes and delicate floral designs with the inspiration from previous Royal Albert patterns and designs taken from the Royal Albert Archive Pattern Books. The result is an eclectic and truly unique collection that captures the true historical design statements and trends from the 10 decades of the 20th century.
