Royal Albert Old Country Roses Dinner Plate

This item is a fine bone china dinner plate featuring the iconic 'Old Country Roses' pattern by Royal Albert, which was first introduced in 1962. The plate is characterized by a bright white glaze decorated with clusters of deep red, pink, and yellow roses in full bloom, complemented by soft green foliage. The edge of the plate is scalloped and features a distinctive hand-applied 22-carat gold stippled trim, which gives it a textured, 'stippled' appearance rather than a solid smooth line. This specific example appears to be in good vintage condition based on the clear, vibrant floral transfers. However, close inspection is required to check for common issues such as utensil marks in the well, gilt loss on the rim, or micro-crazing in the glaze. The manufacturing quality is high, indicative of mid-to-late 20th-century English ceramic production. The style is quintessentially English Victorian revival, blending traditional floral motifs with a romantic, formal aesthetic. The presence of a price tag suggests a secondary market context, but the overall craftsmanship remains a benchmark for classic bridal and tea service collection.
