Royal Albert 100 Years 1950 Mug

This is my FAVORITE china pattern of all time. It is Royal Albert 1940s English Chintz. The pinks and purples they use for this pattern are lovely. The subtle lavender design in the background is a perfect touch. Bone china is so strong that if the handle of a tea cup does not go above the rim, you can actually turn it upside down on the floor and stand on top of it. I know, because I've done it several times and I'm over 250 pounds! Because it's bone china, it's lightweight but VERY durable. I was so pleased to have found it for just under $40, because it's usually more than that. I wish I could buy more, but I'm on a super tight budget and I keep imagining my cat finding a way to knock it off a table. I'd love to have a whole set of this pattern someday, but I don't expect that to ever happen.

Beautiful, and exactly as advertised.

I bought this for my mom for Christmas this year because for my entire adult life she has been in love with the royal Albert tea cup collection. She was so happy when she got to open this, it literally put a twinkle of happy in her eye. Bonus points for the poppy flower on it as that was my late grandmother's nickname (poppy) . Counting mine my mother now has 5 total and they're all beautifully made, exquisite quality and they come in the cutest box one could ever hope for. If tea cups or decorative china is your thing I highly recommend the Royal Albert tea cups and finery . The only downside is that these ones aren't microwaveable but otherwise I was super happy with my choice and so was she. My mom's my queen so she deserves to drink from Royal Albert.

I absolutely love this 1930s royal Albert 100 year collection set! Extremely reminiscent of the 1930s pre-war Britain. The saucer is lifted if you wish to cool your tea in it and the cup is a perfect weight and thickness.I recommend when you open the box that you are very careful as each piece is suspended and you have to be careful to not drop it or let it fall.

Excellent quality. I like it very much.

The media could not be loaded. I have fallen in love with the 1950’s Chinez design the delicate rose buds and forget me not pair perfectly like a lovely lace design. It came in tact no broken pieces and I did rise slightly before use to prevent any uninvited dust.It’s more beautiful than it looks, I took a video but I’m afraid it won’t do it any justice. I used once and can’t wait to add to my collection. The tea set was a good price just wish the plates were more affordable and other options like matching seeing players. I have an existing one that I used but just think how dreamy it would be to have everything matching perfectly.Also wish the 3 tiered plates matched the chinez only insted of Tier Cake Stand designs from three different decades - 1900 (Regency), 1910 (Duchesse) and 1940 (English Chintz).Cleaning is a breeze if you a spray option on your kitchen faucet, and I hand dry it with a cotton towel. Plan to display it on my buffet table and keep the box if I move that way it will be safe.No cons except wish there was more pieces available online!

The mug arrived sooner than expected, packaged beautifully. This is my third purchase of these mugs. Nothing else compares. These mugs cheer me up everyday. I have coffee in them several times a day. My coffee tastes better in these gorgeous mugs. Guests are always complementary. I have Royal Douton China, service for 12 and it is beautiful stuff. Best quality, trusted name brand. I encourage people to treat themselves to one of these mugs. Pretty sure they will not be disappointed and will probably want a couple more. The mugs deserve more than 5 stars.

First of all, I love the Royal Albert china patterns and have a small collection of the teacups. This was intended to round out my collection.I heard an ominous rattle from the package as I picked it up to open it. Thankfully the cup and small saucer were intact, but the large plate had several pieces broken off. Since I bought the cup and saucer to be used and the plate was just an unneeded add-on to be left leaning against the back wall of the china cabinet, I didn't feel like returning it. (I'd no doubt have to send all three pieces back and risk having something else broken in the replacement shipment. No. Padding. At. All. In the outer box, and a symbolic strip of bubble wrap to the side in the presentation box.) I'll superglue the plate together and take joy in drinking from the beautiful cup.
