The Secret Behind Its Delicate Beauty: Fine Bone China 

Royal Albert is crafted from Fine Bone China, one of the most prestigious ceramic materials in the world. 

Translucency against light

Soft - Royal Albert is made from Fine Bone China,  a  premium material that contains around 30% bone ash. This gives each piece its warm ivory colour and makes it feel lighter than regular porcelain. 

Beautiful When Light Shines Through - One unique feature of Fine Bone China is its translucency. If you hold a Royal Albert teacup or plate against the light, you'll notice a soft glow passing through it. This is a sign of its fine quality and delicate craftsmanship. 

Light but Durable - Even though Royal Albert looks delicate, it is made to be strong. Each piece is fired at a very high temperature at 1,260°C, making it more durable and suitable for everyday use while still feeling lightweight in your hands. 

The Signature Ring - Try gently tapping a Royal Albert cup or saucer, and you'll hear a clear, bell-like sound. This is a well-known characteristic of high-quality Fine Bone China and reflects the excellent craftsmanship behind every piece.

For many families around the world, Royal Albert isn't simply tableware.
