Description
Floral cartouches interrupt the deep cobalt border of this Royal Albert teacup, while tiny green flowers and fine brown garlands enliven its white body. A shaped handle, pedestal foot and gilt touches give the single cup a more elaborate profile than an everyday service piece. It suits a cabinet of vintage English porcelain or a display of tea and coffee table pieces.
The supplied identification records a brown printed crown mark reading Royal Albert, Crown China, Made in England. This supports Royal Albert as maker and England as origin, but no named pattern or pattern number is visible in the listing evidence. The cup should therefore be offered as an unidentified floral design rather than assigned an invented pattern. Crown China wording and the mark style suggest an earlier twentieth-century period, broadly the 1920s or 1930s, without establishing a precise year. The selectable variant grades it Good and reports no chips or cracks. That assessment is preserved as supplied, while recognising that photographs cannot replace a physical check for fine hairlines and restoration. For more context on the decoration and identification, see the Journal guide to collecting vintage ceramics.
