For anyone looking for a beautiful dinnerware set, you don't have to think twice about purchasing the classic Royal Albert Old Country Roses dinnerware set. It's lovely and elegant with its floral design and real gold edging, but it's also a sturdy china that can withstand the movements from china closet, to table, to dishwasher or sink without chipping. I purchased the 12 piece dinnerware set that serves 4 to add it to my already existing china. It arrived within a week of my order, securely wrapped, and in perfect condition. All I had to do was wash them and put them into my china closet. I'm very happy with my purchase and hope you will be too.
