Celebrating a Century of English Craftsmanship
The 100 Years of Royal Albert Collection is truly one-of-a-kind. Ten distinctive patterns capture the true historical design statements and trends from the 10 decades of the 20th century to pay tribute to the Royal Albert brand's vitality, longevity and rich design history. Classic shapes... delicate floral designs... and durable bone china means this collection is sure to be cherished and enjoyed for the next 100 years!
The success of Royal Albert dates back to 1896, when Thomas Clarke Wild (with his father) bought the Albert Works in Longton, Stoke-on-Trent -- a factory given its title to commemorate the birth of Prince Albert a year earlier. A year later, in 1897, Thomas Wild & Co produced a range of commemorative pieces for Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee, an association with royalty that continues to this day. Nine years later, in 1906, the company name "Royal Albert Limited" was registered. Since then, Royal Albert has enjoyed a rich history -- with signature designs based on traditional English gardens (the most famous of which is "Old Country Roses" introduced in 1962). The success of the brand is attributed to the high quality and durability of its products, as well as their broad consumer appeal. Today, Royal Albert accounts for nearly 20% of the entire global market for English bone china, and is exported to 53 countries around the world.
