Product Description
A perennial favorite, this exuberantly British pattern recalls proper Victorian teas, candlelight dinners and the slower pace of an earlier era. Roses in deep shades of pink and golden yellow cluster around the edges of each piece in vivid contrast to the pristine white of bone china. Further embellishment is provided by the fluted contours and rich gold accents.
Amazon.com Review
Rich with roses in full bloom, the Royal Albert Old Country Roses dinnerware is ideal for elegant gatherings and romantic occasions. Crafted from Montrose bone china, each piece features a white background bordered with clusters of roses in deep pink, light pink, and soft yellow. Detailed leaves and subtle backdrops in green add handsomely contrasting color. The plates feature attractively fluted borders, while the teacup elegantly combines a fluted body and an ornate arched handle. Royal Albert hand-trims each dish with 22-karat gold accents for a sophisticated appearance suitable to special occasions. A place setting for one, this set includes a 10-1/2-inch dinner plate, an 8-inch salad plate, a 6-1/4-inch bread and butter plate, a 5-1/2-inch saucer, and a 6-1/2-ounce teacup. Serving pieces and accessories are also available. --Emily Bedard What's in the Box

Wonderful, beautiful. Since I'm a "rose buff" this was something I couldn't pass up. Also, it looks perfect in my lighted china cabinet.

As I've said in a previous post, I like this set. I received it as a gift and I like it very much. I would have expected it to be a 'finer' china but it is very nice the way it is for it's price.
It's nice but it's not so thin you'd be afraid to use it. That's what I like most about the set I have, I will use it to an extent because it is not as thin as if it was over $500.
I agree with other reviews, in a world where restaurants are the norm, it's nice to own your own fine china and not be afraid to use it. I plan on adding to my new collection.
Customer service from Royal Doulton is awesome so don't fret!

The dishes arrived a few days earlier, to my pleseant surprise. The price was less than at Macy's, even with their super sale and coupons. I am very pleased with my purchase through Amazon. Lenore Flanagan

For sixty dollars per place setting you expect quality. I think I got what I expected. I found no flaws, was impressed by the quality of the gold and other 'old country roses' design features, and feel I've risen to a new level of civility!
A high quality place setting will do that for you. These are well made in indonesia, not england. Better made than my indonesian teak lawn furniture, which isn't too shoddy itself regarding quality.
You must feel you need this Royal Albert place setting, as well as the large selection of additional table pieces, or it won't mean anything to you. The pleasure you get from it is internal, in your own mind. It helps you to feel thoroughly middle class, not to put too fine a point on it.
And what's wrong with that? With all the dumbing down of culture as this century gets rolling toward that 'restaurant at the end of the universe,' why should we deny ourselves the pleasure of owning, maybe even using, this fine china.
Now that you have decided to get it, you need a china server! See my 'all my reviews' section for a review of an antique teak piece for an astonishing price.
Next, start thinking about all the other pieces, gravy boats etc., you will want to accumulate over the years to complete your set. Don't take out a second (or third) mortgage on the house to do it though!
