Full details
The Royal Albert Old Country Roses Bowls set is designed for those who appreciate classic, maximalist tableware and desire to add a touch of traditional elegance to their dining collection. These 16cm bowls are perfect for serving breakfast cereals, desserts, or small fruit portions, offering a nostalgic cottage-garden aesthetic that has remained a design icon since 1962. While these pieces provide beautiful, high-quality fine bone china craftsmanship, users should be aware that the inclusion of 22-carat gold trim makes them strictly unsuitable for microwave use, necessitating careful hand-washing to preserve their vintage charm.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these bowls feature 22-carat gold embellishments, they require specific care to remain in pristine condition. Always wash by hand using a soft cloth and mild dish detergent; never use abrasive scouring pads which can damage both the glaze and the gold trim. While these pieces are safe for freezer storage, they must never be used in a microwave oven, as the metal components will spark and cause damage to the dishes and the appliance. Handle the bowls gently when stacking to prevent scratching the gold-lined scalloped edges.
