Royal Albert’s Old Country Roses is among the most well liked bone china patterns ever produced. A design classic, with a lavish 22-carat gold border is adorned by English roses; Old Country Roses has an enduring appeal for those with a passion for florals and a taste for nostalgia and Retro-chic. Over 150 million pieces of Old Country roses have been sold around the globe since its introduction in 1962.
Designed in the early 1960s, Old Country Roses is among the most well liked tableware patterns on the planet, appealing to home entertainers all over the generations. This tableware’s Retro style comes from much earlier than the ’60s and is more reminiscent of heirloom china patterns that grandmother–or great-grandmother-may have owned at the turn of the century. This tiny 10-by-5-1/2-inch tray carries the coordinating sugar bowl and creamer to the table to serve with tea or coffee after formal dinners. A 1/2-inch rim keeps serving pieces from sliding and shaped handles at either end assist hostesses with carrying. The tray’s interior bears the signature English roses that the pattern is called for in shades of gold and magenta on a milky white background. For additional charm, the tray’s scalloped edges are trimmed in 22-karat gold.
Old Country Roses tableware is made of bone china–fine china that has had bone ash added to the clay to produce a true white color–which is thought of as the strongest and most prestigious type because of its eighteenth century English origins. This tray is protected for the dishwasher at low temperatures and coordinates with a whole series of Old Country Roses collection pieces. –Cristina Vaamonde
