Beautiful, extensive vintage mid-century fine bone china tea service featuring the iconic and timeless classic red rose pattern with delicate gold gilded rims.
This collection is a wonderful mix of Royal Vale and Colclough pieces. Because both brands were manufactured by the same parent company (Colclough China Ltd / Ridgway) at the Vale Works factory in Stoke-on-Trent, the porcelain weights, shapes, and floral designs match beautifully and display together seamlessly on a table.
The collection consists of 32 pieces in total, allowing you to set a beautiful table for 6–8 people with plenty of spares and extra serving plates.
