Royal Albert Crystal

Royal Albert glassware, though less famed than its iconic fine bone china, embodies the same timeless elegance and British charm. Established in 1896 in Longton, Stoke-on-Trent—a region known as “The Potteries”—Royal Albert began as Thomas C. Wild & Co. The brand quickly gained popularity for its romantic floral designs, especially the now-famous “Old Country Roses,” introduced in 1962. While china was its crown jewel, Royal Albert later expanded into complementary glassware, offering everything from etched crystal to delicately fluted goblets designed to echo the grace of its porcelain collections.

Each piece of Royal Albert glassware reflects the brand’s Victorian inspiration—floral motifs, soft curves, and refined craftsmanship. It’s more than functional—it’s tableware with a story. Though production has moved from England over time, Royal Albert glassware still brings a vintage flourish to modern tables, capturing the spirit of English teatime and garden parties in every shimmering glass.

Collectors and hosts alike cherish it not just for its beauty, but for its legacy—a celebration of heritage, hospitality, and high tea in every sip.
