Royal Albert Tourmaline

P7223021

This weeks cup and saucer is Royal Albert bone china from England in the Tourmaline pattern.

P7222990

This pretty pink and black rose pattern with lots of gold is from the Summer Bounty series.  The six piece series includes Amethyst, Jade, Pearl, Ruby, Sapphire and Tourmaline.

Each cup pattern comes in both the Gainsborough or Avon shape.  I prefer the Avon shape above.

P7222989

The Summer Bounty series was produced 1960s - 1970s.

    Hello,
    yes, I agree, that is a stunning tea cup design. Royal Albert is always the best but I have never seen this series. Thank you so much for sharing it with us. By the way, almost I had forgotten to mention the delicious looking sweets.
    Best greetings, Johanna
