HISTORY:
My wife "collects" but is changing which type of china/porcelain she wants (now pre-1900's) and she has come to realise that many of our treasured items need to "leave home" to find a new, caring home to live in.
DLAT RATING: 9.5/10 (Darling Look At This!)
Dainty, delicate, very pleasing shape and 'pleasing to the eye' and of course, it's Royal Albert!
We had two trio's of this Lavender design but now just this trio and a saucer & teacup (advertised separately)
ROYAL ALBERT - Teacup, Saucer & Side Plate (Offered separately or as a trio if all pieces still remain available)

Gold gilding applied around the scalloped rims and in the case of the teacup, the back of the handle, both sides of the upper handle (only) and a double band at the base.

CONDITION:
This first section of the condition report is universal to all three pieces, any difference or flaws are noted below this section
CLEAN
NO cracks
NO chips
NO crazing
NO discolouration observed to the brilliant White base porcelain, particularly inside the teacup where no tannin or other staining has occurred.
NO damage or wear is apparent to the decorations
NO observable wear at all to the Gold gilding on all pieces, not even the most handled areas such as the teacup handle and saucer edges.
SAUCER & SIDE PLATE:
I can see one fleabite on the underside of both the saucer and the side plate, it is not discoloured (no bacteria has made itself at home in the ceramic) and it not easy to see, running the finger over the area will reveal it though.
TEACUP
I cannot see any flaws or imperfections with this piece that would require a mention
