Royal AlbertOld Country Roses 6-Piece Cake Server Set, Multi

beautiful

Got this for my lovely wife, Linda, for Christmas. She already has setting for eight people, but needed four more settings for our family Christmas dinner. "Royal Albert" arrived on time, except I had to force Linda to open it Christmas Eve so we could wash and get them set down properly (like Downton Abbey?) before the kids and grand-kids arrived the next morning. Made Linda and I feel like Britain Aristocracy, sipping our coffee with cups edged with 22 carat-gold, using a saucer edged with 22 carat-gold also to support the cup. We even got a picture of me in my long undies trying the imitate "aristocracy" while having coffee. One of the large plates was broken when arrived due to careless handling. We used the smaller plates for the grand-kids so there was no real disaster. When we advised Amazon the next day of the broken plate, we thought they would just send us another one. Instead they sent a complete new set with instructions to return the "old" set along with the broken dish. We also sent a note and advised that placing a bunch of FRAGILE---GLASS stickers on the outside would help. There was nothing on the packing box to indicate that the contents were fragile. Anyway, Linda has a beautiful, gorgeous set of "Old Country Roses" Dinnerware that she has placed in a china cabinet that gives her great comfort to look at while in the kitchen. Thank you Amazon... you made me look good again! Ye Olde Road Warrior

The quality of the pieces and the style are both excellent, with elegant teacups and high-sided saucers.We think of it as special-occasion, rather than everyday dinnerware, but it appears sturdy enough to survive regular use.The packaging was inadequate for international freight, with the individual plates and saucers separated from each other only by regular plastic bags. With such minimal impact protection we were impressed that only one saucer got broken. Amazon dealt with this very satisfactorily.We love this dinnerware enough that we'll likely add more pieces to it in the future.

I am a new collector of the Royal Albert Old Country Roses. I have a set of eight place setting that are made in England. After much debate and reading all the reviews on the OCR made in Indonesia, I bought this from Amazon and Silver Spoon Store. I want to say that I am no expert on China or glazes, just a consumer. The set arrived in Royal Albert Boxes, packaging was outstanding, all items were in perfect condition, nothing broken or chipped. I noticed that the glaze is different compared to the made in England Set. The made in England set is completely smooth, the set made in Indonesia, you can feel the pattern slightly. The pink roses on the made in Indonesia are a slightly richer color too, which I have to say, I like better. I think that this is a wonderful set and if you have doubts, buy it, you will not be sorry. It is truely a beautiful set.

The media could not be loaded.  The set is beautiful but very delicate. One of the saucers was broken when it arrived. I wish it came with a teapot. Otherwise. It is lovely. So far I have this set minus 1 saucer and the spoons my husband bought for mother's day.

My wife was dreaming of this set of china for a very long time. The fact that there are so many complementary sets to go with it means that over time it can be turned into a very complete set of special occasion china that can be handed down through multiple generations. It's also nice that individual pieces can be purchased to replace the occasional broken piece.My only criticism is with how the china is packed. The packing is not very good and of the two sets we purchased, one of them had a broken teacup. Amazon was very good about sending out a new set right away, however, it came with a broken saucer so I had to mix and match between the two broken sets to get one complete set and then ship back the broken set. The only trouble for me was just having to swap pieces and take the broken set to the UPS store to ship back to Amazon. However, it would probably save Amazon quite a bit in replacement expense not to mention improve the customer experience, if the packaging was better designed to protect the china through any rough handling. This would include individually wrapping teacups and plate stacks in paper/bubble wrap and slipping a piece of cardboard between each plate.

We always had Royal Albert OCR at home so I knew what to expect.Well we're absolutely thrilled with them; they're really beautiful, fine translucent china with the inimitable delicate flower design. They even sound lovely when used.Made in Bangladesh, they were a fraction of the original cost, so you don't have to weep if you drop one.They make the table and the whole room elegant and welcoming.I wouldn't worry about what's printed on the bottom. Beneath the little bunch of flowers it just says: Old Country Roses. Royal Albert. Registered mark. Bone China. Copyright mark, 1962 Royal Albert LTD.Thoroughly recommended for those who like to dine in style every day.

I ordered this two years ago and most of the items arrived broken but I ordered more yesterday. Delivered today not a single item broken, beautiful to look at. Can't wait to put my Christmas dinner on them in a couple of days.
