Product DescriptionThe best-selling dinnerware pattern in the world, the Old Country Roses pattern is practically synonymous with the name Royal Albert and a long-standing testament to timeless style and elegant craftsmanship. This 15in Oval Serving Platter is decorated with the Old Country Roses' signature motif of burgundy, pink and yellow roses, accented with lustrous gold banding.Amazon.comDesigned originally in 1962 by Harold Holdcroft, Royal Albert's Old Country Roses has become one of the most popular china patterns in the company's century-long history. The sumptuous design is enhanced by the sophisticated shape, graceful floral ornamentation, rich feminine colors, and a style and elegance that are uniquely English. Measuring 12-1/4 by 16-1/4 inches, this large oval platter from Royal Albert beautifully complements the entire line of Old Country Roses tableware pieces. The crisp whiteness of the tray gracefully showcases the outer ring of country roses in shades of pink and golden yellow. Set on a bed of greenery, the delicate flowers resemble those growing in a classic English garden. A fluted pattern and hand-trimmed border of 22-carat gold completes the romantic design. While the platter is dishwasher-safe, for best results, Royal Albert recommends washing fine china by hand. --Lea Werbel
