Capacities: Teapot 47.5 oz; Covered Sugar Bowl 16.5 oz; Creamer 15.8 oz For almost 200 years, The Royal Doulton Company has specialized in fine bone china and porcelain for the table and collectibles. Royal Doulton, as evidenced by the name, enjoys the distinction of a “Royal Warrant”. A Royal Warrant is bestowed upon people or companies who have regularly supplied members of the Royal Family with goods or services. It is regarded as a mark of supreme excellence and quality. It cannot, of course, be bought or sold. King Edward awarded the first of five Royal Warrants to Royal Doulton in 1901. The Doulton Company then became The Royal Doulton Company. Royal Doulton now holds two Royal Warrants. Our other brands have also been honored: Royal Albert holds two Royal Warrants and Minton holds one. Royal Albert’s Old Country Roses is probably the most successful bone china tableware pattern in the world. It’s something that has suited different lifestyles for decades past, and should do for decades to come. The haze of summertime, the sight of roses in full bloom… Harold Holdcroft captured in all in 1962 with Old Country Roses. That is why Royal Albert’s range of traditional tableware, with it’s traditional Montrose shape, signature rose design and beautifully hand decorated with 22 carat gold trim, is something very special. After all, Royal Albert has been “passionate about florals” since it’s launch in 1896, and has built a fine reputation for English romance and elegance.
