Royal Albert - Haworth


Another Royal Albert collection.  This stunning pattern is known as Haworth. This pattern was introduced in 1982 and discontinued in 2001. From googling, this "Haworth" pattern was named after the village of Haworth on the North Yorkshire moors , in the north of England - famous as the home of the Bronte family at Haworth Parsonage.   

The pattern comes with a design of small soft white florals with moss green leaves resemble apple blossoms and cover the sparkling white china with the heavy gold trim. All the pieces are nicely gilded on the edges and on the feet.

The  Coffee Pot lid has it own perculiar shaped handle. Some thought has gone into designing this item. The Coffee Pot handle design enables a strong grip and also has a nice shaped. The Coffee Pot was designed with a curvy shaped and made it looks sexy...
 
This is a fancy shaped creamer,  have fancy feet and the creamer is 3 3/8" high and 5 1/4" handle to spout.

Nice shape cup and saucer

Happy viewing

PML TeaSet - Bunga Padi


I am sharing another Made in China Vintage Teaset (PML) known as Bunga Padi (Paddy Flower in english).  This pattern is called Bunga Padi because there is a clear resemblance of Paddy Flower added to the pattern and I think no one knows the name of the flower in the pattern.  I guessed that was how the pattern ended-up with 'Bunga Padi'.

The Paddy pattern clearly can be seen on the cup
















This is my first PML that I am able to make up into the standard 22pcs TeaSet.  It took me about 3 months to complete the collection.  The Creamer Pot is the last item found.  

The uniqueness about this pattern, is the black/dark grey color flowers on white porcelain with edges are gilded with silver lining. A simple design but still able to give the classic look.
