Historical information

Royal Albert bone china is renowned for its delicate floral designs and enduring elegance, with a legacy spanning over a century.
The story of Royal Albert goes back to a small pottery business established by Thomas Wild in 1896, in Longton, England. Whilst the Royal Albert brand was created in 1904, its roots are to be found in the Albert works, built in 1846. The Albert works were named after Queen Victoria’s consort, Prince Albert, whom she married in 1840.
