Impress your guests with the vibrant and youthful Polka Blue collection from Royal Albert. A gorgeously feminine design with traditional florals, Polka Blue is inspired by the fun-loving designs of the forties and will add the wow-factor to any gathering with its light-hearted appeal. Soft blue is scattered with roses and playful polka dots for an eclectic finish to really get everybody talking. Even before Queen Victoria came to the throne, flowers had developed a language of their own with different blooms and even specific colours signifying emotions and sentiments. Pink roses traditionally have a meaning of friendship, and so there's no better way to honour the company of good friends than by serving tea on a Polka Blue tea service. Ruffled detailing, dainty rococo handles and delicate gold trim are the perfect finishing touches. Reflecting a contemporary trend for creating eclectic mix and match teatime table settings, these vintage patterns have been re-imagined in a modern and authentic way. To complete the charming teatime collection the teapot, sugar bowl and cream jug set with two different cake stands allow a wonderful display of treats to enjoy with tea, this most English of traditions. Produced in quality fine bone china to the highest quality standards, each piece is luxuriously finished with lustrous 22 carat gold and presented in Royal Albert signature boxed gift sets, ideal to give as a gift to friends and family or as a treat for yourself. Stretching back over 100 years, Royal Albert has always been passionate about floral design, inspired by the quintessentially English country rose garden. Original, timeless and charming, the collections perfectly echo these longstanding traditions of floral patterns with nostalgic twists like polka dots and ruffles, matched with fashionable colours to reflect the stylish world of todays Royal Albert woman.
