It is crafted from high-quality fine bone china.
How should I store these pieces?
Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally using protective dividers if stacking them to prevent scratching the glaze or gold trim.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your service, ensure the saucer is placed on a flat, stable surface before resting the teacup upon it. There is no complex assembly required, but pairing this set with matching Royal Albert Polka Blue plates or teapots will complete a cohesive look. For care, strictly avoid the dishwasher, as the high heat and harsh detergents can damage the gold gilding and dull the vibrancy of the patterns. Instead, hand-wash the items in warm water with a mild, non-abrasive soap and a soft cloth. Always dry with a soft, lint-free towel immediately after washing to prevent water spots from forming on the fine china.
