English Royal Albert bone china tea service in the richly decorated “Heirloom” pattern, comprising four teacups and six saucers/plates, each featuring deep cobalt blue borders lavishly accented with gilt scrollwork, rust-red and coral floral reserves, geometric cartouches, and crisp white interiors. The scalloped cups are raised on pedestal feet with molded handles and gilt highlights, while the matching saucers repeat the elaborate Imari-influenced palette and ornamental border treatment. Undersides bear the Royal Albert crown backstamp reading “Royal Albert / Bone China / England / Heirloom,” confirming the pattern and English manufacture; comparable examples are also cataloged under the Royal Albert Heirloom name. The set presents attractively overall with expected light age-related surface wear and minor rubbing to the gilding; no obvious major cracks or large losses are visible in the provided photographs, though each piece should be inspected individually for small chips, crazing, or hairlines. Cups measure 2.5"H x 5"W x 4"D and saucers are 5.375" in diameter.
