Originally planned to be called Treasure Garden, Harold Holdcroft MSIA FRSA NRD, Royal Albert’s Art Director, based his design on the 1921 pattern King’s Ransom. The design was a result of years of work by Harold Holdcroft who said; We decided to incorporate all the ingredients we knew would be acceptable, richness of colour, softness of colour, good quality and a good value look. All these qualities are incorporated in the pattern. It has lush deep red roses, warmth from the tea roses, delicacy from the bluish pink and an overall softening off of the pattern by using a shade of soft warm green. Enhanced by the elegant traditional Royal Albert Montrose shape and the attractive scalloped edges finished in 22k gold, from the twist and curl of the teacup handles to the fluted trim on the teapot lid…. The attention to detail has contributed to a superb original design. The Unique Collectable China & Glassware Co. Was created to provide the opportunity for people around the world to capture the beauty and elegance of a time when people enjoyed the finer things in life.
