Royal Albert's Old Country Roses, designed by Harold Holdcroft, is arguably the most recognized and the most popular pattern of servingware/dinnerware in the world. Introduced in 1962, this fine bone white china has a gold fluted rim on each dish, beautifully accenting the rich colors of the roses.
This particular set comes from a blend of 2 Estate sales in Vancouver, B.C.. The cosmetic wear is very minimal. I have seen very little in the way of scratches and there are no chips, cracks or crazing. This set is in excellent condition.
