Amazon.com Review
Designed in 1962 by Harold Holdcroft, Royal Albert's Old Country Roses has become one of the most popular china patterns in the company's century-long history. The sumptuous design is enhanced by the pieces' sophisticated shape, graceful floral ornamentation, and rich feminine colors, with a style and elegance that are uniquely English.

The crisp whiteness of the tea cup and saucer gracefully showcase the country roses in shades of pink and soft yellow. Set on a bed of greenery, the delicate flowers resemble those growing in a classic English garden. A fluted pattern and hand-trimmed border in 22-carat gold decorate both pieces of the set, and completes the romantic design. The saucer measures 5-1/2 inches in diameter, while the tea cup holds 6-1/2 ounces and is adorned with an ornately arched handle. For best results, Royal Albert recommends washing fine bone china by hand. --Lea Werbel

just perfect June 1, 2008
Exactly what I expected. First quality china. Just remember to put a spoon in the cup before pouring tea or it will crack.

Excellent Customer Service December 29, 2007

I received as a gift, a set of four of these with 3 other plate sizes as well. It's a very nice set for the money. I would have expected a better quality product but it is still a nice set. The china is not as thin as I would have expected, but again, for the price it is very nice. The pattern is classic and well done.

One of the cups was broken and they are already shipping the replacement, no questions asked. That's customer service I can get on board with. I have another tea set that was made in Japan and hand painted, but so far, I think this is the better set simply because the company stands behind their product.

Old Country Roses no longer made in England August 3, 2007
5 out of 5 found this review helpful

The quality of Old Country Roses used to be excellent. In 2002-2003, they moved their production to Indonesia, and then to China. The quality has dropped substantially since then, and so have the prices. You get what you pay for.
- China-made pieces are heavier and thicker
- China-made pieces have less accurate gold-work
If its any consolation, all the major brands of fine china are shifting production to Asia from England and Europe, with commensurate decreases in quality, and sometimes in price.

This is the best looking china I have ever owned!!! I have owned very expensive sets and none can compare to the look and feel of the Royal Doulton Old Country Rose collection. This is a must have for anyone looking for a classic set of china at a great price.
