   The Royal Albert Old Coury Roses 4 Pc Hostess set is very pretty and adds a classy touch to my beautiful Gravy boat and serving dishes. Great deal -so glad I bought this set.

   I received as a gift, a set of four of these with 3 other plate sizes as well. It’s a very nice set for the money. I would have expected a better quality product but it is still a nice set. The china is not as thin as I would have expected, but again, for the price it is very nice. The pattern is classic and well done.

   One of the cups was broken and they are already shipping the replacement, no questions asked. That’s customer service I can get on board with. I have another tea set that was made in Japan and hand painted, but so far, I think this is the better set simply because the company stands behind their product.

   This is the best looking china I have ever owned!!! I have owned very expensive sets and none can compare to the look and feel of the Royal Doulton Old Country Rose collection. This is a must have for anyone looking for a classic set of china at a great price.

   The quality of Old Country Roses used to be excellent. In 2002-2003, they moved their production to Indonesia, and then to China. The quality has dropped substantially since then, and so have the prices. You get what you pay for.
   - China-made pieces are heavier and thicker
   - China-made pieces have less accurate gold-work
   If its any consolation, all the major brands of fine china are shifting production to Asia from England and Europe, with commensurate decreases in quality, and sometimes in price.

   This is a perfect dish to hold your side dishes in.
   Holds 5 pounds of Mashed Potatoe’s (I know this personally)
   Great style, Class & Elegance.
   The correct name for this piece is the Royal Albert Old Coutry Rose Oval Open Vegetable Bowl.
   You will love this bowl!

   I purchased this dish as a gift for my wife, thinking that it would be a decent sized round vegetable dish. It is not. Although you cannot tell it from the description and there is no picture on the “product description” page, this bowl is actually what I would call an oval vegetable dish, which is somewhat smaller than the a round vegetable dish.

   The quality of the china is fine and it arrived undamaged, although later than I was orignally told. I would give the china 5 stars as an oval vegetable dish and the description 2 stars for being far too vague.

   This is falsely advertised. These are cereal bowls. I had them replace and they sent cereal bowls again. DO NOT BUY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

   Royal Albert Old Country Roses 9-Piece Tea set Completer Set

   I was excited when I saw the price since I very much wanted to buy this product. The reviews I read suggested that the cup-saucers are good size too. So expected big cups and a big teapot (that I purchased separately). But I guess I am used to bigger size cups and teapots. These are just OK in size – for a true tea drinker.

   The design looks impressive and expensive still the finish is not the same as the original (made in England products) that I was looking for.

   In past when the companies made products away from their original manufacturing places, they were called “blue goods”. I guess this is what it is. Only good thing about this is that now I can use if without fear.

   Importantly, the stickers should be all at the bottom. However, they are all over the place and leave adhesive on the cups, teapot and saucers- which are difficult to remove.

   At this price, and with this manufacturer’s name, I am sure a company such as Royal Albert can insist on using half way decent adhesive stickers and apply the quality control that look into their proper placement. (After all aren’t we buying these for their name and reputation?)

   In conclusion, buy it if you like it but do not buy it for its name and quality if you are looking for one.

    I bought these to go with my Old Country Roses dishes and serveware. I rarely serve seafood, but I use them for pickles and olives. They are small enough to stay on the serving piece without falling off when the item is passed around the table. They are very nice and I would recommend them.

    I ordered Royal Albert Country Rose flatware and it is outstanding. The price was right and the design is beautiful. I had been looking for this item for awhile and when I saw it on Amazon I knew that was the place to order it from. I’d highly recommend this product, especially for brides.

    I bought this set after Christmas. The price was better than any of the stores I checked. Everything arrived in great condition in a Royal Doulton box. My mom just gave me all of her OCR china. I notice that the roses, especially the yellow ones, on the china that I bought from Amazon are not nearly as detailed as the roses on her china. The roses on my mom’s china are smooth and the roses on the new china have a printed dot texture to them. Also the gold trim on my mom’s dishes is much larger than the trim on the new ones. I am unsure if the china that I bought from Amazon is real. I will not buy china here again.

    I am very pleased with the Royal Albert Dinnerware. Amazon’s price is very good, much better than the derpartment stores and the quality is very good also.
