Unlike the richly coloured floral patterns that defined much of the brand’s mid-century success, Windsor Rose adopts a restrained blue-and-white palette, rendering its rose motifs entirely in soft tonal blue. The result is a pattern that sits closer to the long blue-and-white tradition than to Royal Albert’s more exuberant designs, while retaining the same fine bone china body and gilt finishing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sugar bowl is footed with a gently waisted and lobed body and a scalloped rim. The white ground carries continuous sprays of roses and foliage in soft blue transfer, wrapping evenly around the exterior. The interior remains plain white. A fine gilt line finishes the rim, with double gilt banding to the foot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are no chips, cracks, or crazing. The gilt is intact. Condition is excellent throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaker: Royal Albert\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePattern: Windsor Rose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody: Bone china\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForm: Open sugar bowl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBackstamp: \"Royal Albert \/ Bone China \/ England \/ Windsor Rose \/ © Royal Albert Ltd 1982\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiameter: 11 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeight: 6 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 179 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCollector Appeal\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLater English-made Royal Albert pieces are becoming increasingly relevant as production shifts further into overseas manufacture. Windsor Rose offers a more restrained alternative to the brand’s better-known patterns, appealing to buyers who favour classic blue-and-white over polychrome florals.
