Royal Albert

The Royal Albert brand was officially established in 1904, but its  origins can be traced back to The Albert Works, which was founded in 1896 by Thomas Wild and his sons. The Albert Works specialized in producing tea, breakfast, and dessert pieces with beautiful floral designs, and it quickly gained a reputation for producing high-quality china. The company was named in honor of Prince Albert, who was born in 1895 and named in memory of his great-grandfather, the famous Victorian Albert. 

During the 1930s, Royal Albert bone china saw a significant increase in popularity due to the growing prosperity of the British public. People were willing to invest in luxury items and Royal Albert's striking floral designs and elegant shapes caught the attention of consumers, particularly women.

Over the years, the designs grew more modern but continue to maintain their uniquely British aesthetic. To this day, Royal Albert remains one of the most sought-after china manufacturers, with its rich history embedded in each piece.
