Royal Albert Old Country Roses Lidded Vase
This Royal Albert Old Country Roses lidded vase is a decorative porcelain piece from the Royal Albert range, offered as a single lot. It has a rounded body, a domed lid and a sculpted finial handle, and it will suit a display cabinet, dresser or sideboard.
The vase is decorated with clusters of roses in pink, red and yellow, with green foliage and small rosebuds scattered across the body and lid. The rounded body has a fluted, swirled texture that catches the light, and the lid and rim are finished with gilt edging. The sculpted finial has a scrolled, shell-like form, also picked out in gilt. The design reflects the traditional English cottage-garden style for which the Old Country Roses pattern is widely known.
Condition and Collector Appeal
The vase is presented with its lid in place. Gilt detailing to the rim, lid and finial is visible, and the floral decoration appears bright and well defined. No obvious chips or cracks are noted on the visible surfaces. Buyers should check the item closely on viewing, as the auction house can only describe what is evident from the lot.
Royal Albert Old Country Roses has a long following among collectors of English porcelain, and lidded pieces from the pattern are often sought after for display and as gifts. This example combines the recognisable rose motifs with a sculpted form and gilt finishing, which may appeal to collectors building a themed display or those looking for a classic piece of English tableware.
