This set originates from the 1970s and has been inspected to ensure it is in excellent condition. While it is a pre-owned vintage item, it shows no significant signs of wear or damage that would detract from its beauty or functionality.
The Montrose shape is one of Royal Albert's most iconic teacup silhouettes. It features a classic, flared rim and a comfortable, elegant handle that is designed to make the tea-drinking experience feel refined and ergonomic.
The gold trim is a hallmark of the Old Country Roses collection. To keep it from wearing down, avoid abrasive sponges or harsh detergents when cleaning, and always wash the pieces by hand.
