Royal Albert White Dogwood Bone China Dinnerware Set

This is a comprehensive dinnerware set by Royal Albert, featuring the 'White Dogwood' pattern, confirmed to be bone china. The set consists of 67 individual items, encompassing a variety of dishes suitable for a full meal service. Physical characteristics include a predominantly white base adorned with a delicate pattern of green foliage and white dogwood blossoms. The edges of most pieces display a scalloped, organic form, further highlighted by a distinct gold trim, adding an element of luxury and classical elegance. The construction quality appears to be high, typical of Royal Albert bone china, known for its translucency and strength. The array of items visible includes dinner plates, salad plates, bread plates, teacups and their matching saucers (including several larger teacups with deep saucers or bowls, possibly soup bowls), a creamer, and a sugar bowl (possibly with a lid, though not explicitly visible), along with at least one serving platter and a possibly square or rectangular serving dish. The 'untarnished' condition, as described by the provider, suggests that the gold trim is intact with minimal to no wear, and the surfaces of the dishes are free from chips, cracks, crazing, or significant utensil marks. The presence of a stamp on the bottom of each dish is a crucial manufacturing detail, confirming its maker and pattern, and affirming its authenticity as Royal Albert. Given the traditional design and the use of bone china with gold trim, the estimated age for this pattern would likely be mid-20th century to late 20th century, a popular period for such elegant table settings. The overall presentation indicates a well-preserved collection, reflecting quality craftsmanship and attention to detail inherent in Royal Albert products.
