The set is decorated in an Imari style pattern, characterized by a vibrant palette of cobalt blue and iron red, accented with intricate floral sprays and gold gilding.

The rims, handles, and foot rings are finished with gold trim. The interior of each cup is further decorated with a repeating border of floral motifs and gilded patterns. The base of each piece bears a printed mark in brown ink, featuring the words ROYAL ALBERT above a crown, followed by CROWN CHINA and ENGLAND. Condition: The set is in good vintage condition. There are no visible chips, cracks, or evidence of restoration. Minor age-related wear is present on the gilded highlights, primarily along the rims and handles. One cup exhibits light discoloration to the interior base.
