Royal Albert was founded in 1894 by Thomas Clark Wild and is well known for its fine quality bone china. The Royal Albert Regal series was introduced in 1970.
This series includes the black cup shown, as well as blue, hot pink, teal, yellow, green, forest green, purple and red.
This teacup has a lovely gold cascade overlay that is quite striking on the black and white.
Royal Albert china is now a part of WWRD (Waterford, Wedgwood & Royal Doulton). There is a wonderful 100 Years of Royal Albert 10- piece teacup and saucer set here.

The black and gold is beautiful and so rich looking. What a special cup and saucer.
ooooooooooh, what an elegant set! Thanks for sharing this :)
What a stunning cup! It's not easy to find a color combination like this with such elegant detail. Can't we all just picture ourselves wearing a little Jackie O black dress with pearls and sipping tea out of this classy cup! What style! :)
Thanks for sharing,

Oh yes, this is a gorgeous cup! So dramatic with the black, white and gold. I love the cup shape and the fillyness of it.
Thank you so much for sharing it.

I love black tea cups. Yours is amazing. Thank you for sharing it with us and for the information. I did not know that. Have a great week. Blessings, Martha
What a beautiful teacup! And I am very happy to have the name of the "cascade gold overlay," since I've often seen pieces with that design, just not as formal looking as on this teacup.
My spouse and I stumbled over here from a different website
and thought I might as well check things out. I like what I see so now i'm following you.
Look forward to checking out your web page yet again.
