Teacup Thursday: Royal Albert Heirloom Pattern

-

I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round, as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys. 
~Charles Dickens

Here's a few pictures of our beloved Royal Albert Teapot and Teacup - Heirloom Pattern! It is so beautiful, but sadly the camera has never been able to capture it's splendor to the fullest!! I took many pictures this morning, but to no avail... these were the only two that were somewhat suitable! Maybe I should ask Santa for a new camera!!
Wishing all of our dear Tea Friends a very Merry Christmas!!!

    Good morning ladies,
    What a splendid teapot and teacup! They are simply stunning! I have a vintage Imari teacup which is similar but yours is quite beautiful! Thank you for sharing and for hosting. I wish you and your family a most Joyous and Blessed Christmas.

    Blessings,
    Sandi

    I have to admit that's one Royal Albert I don't have, and want it very much. I'm going to have to go out hunting again one of these days. Love the hunt!
