Royal Albert Bone China Violets Ensemble
This is a fine bone china collection featuring a prominent purple violet floral motif, consistent with the Victorian-style 'Sweet Violets' or similar patterns by Royal Albert. The set includes a tall cylindrical bud vase, a globular lidded teapot, a scalloped teacup and saucer set resting on a larger dinner plate, and a decorative handled basket flower bowl. Physically, each piece is expertly crafted from glazed white porcelain accented with hand-painted or transfer-ware arrangements of deep purple and light lavender violets with soft green foliage. The rims and handles are finished with delicate gold gilt edging, which shows minimal signs of rubbing or loss. The decorative basket features a twisted ceramic handle with gold spiral detailing. The larger plate exhibits an embossed textural scrollwork pattern around the rim, suggesting a higher-tier manufacturing series from the mid-to-late 20th century. Condition appears to be excellent vintage quality with no visible chips, cracks, or crazing, though accumulated dust is present from storage. The craftsmanship displays thin-walled translucency typical of English fine china, and the uniformity of the transfer patterns suggests a cohesive production run. This ensemble represents a classic romantic style popularized in the 1960s-1980s, appealing to collectors of English teaware.
