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

So sorry I haven't been by for a little while.., yet my I'm so glad I did today!..,

What with my having been away recently, (and then posting seemingly endless pictures re., family wedding and tea posts, especially to please family and close friends); not to mention the busyness of our B. and B. and also a bad head cold.., Whew!

I am just so delighted for the refreshment of getting back to visiting our, Tuesday Teatime In Blog Land,Teacup Tuesday, and precious tea ladies such as you my dear!
