Royal Albert Polka White POLROS26137

The Royal Albert Polka Rose Vintage collection is so gorgeous I keep gasping whenever I see it. I know I sound like a drama queen, but it is stunning, delicate, beautifully colored, and functional. I purchased the sandwich tray to add to the rest of the collection I got for my daughter and she keeps the tea set, cups and saucers, and sandwich tray in full view on her hutch---so yes, I gasp when I see all of it. She does too. She has used the tray for tiny sandwiches, but for other things as well!!! Use your imagination: cookies, crackers, etc. I want to let people know that the Polka Rose is a beautiful, soft mint green color, so don't be misled. You can pick up a Royal Albert Polka Rose BLUE, but if it doesn't say blue, it is probably this mint green, so be careful if you don't like the mint green. I first saw this sandwich tray and other pieces on sale in a Macy's home store, but the sale was over when I decided to return to make a purchase. Dear, wonderful Amazon had it for the sale price that Macy's was briefly offering, so I bought many pieces through two Amazon sellers. I'm quite sure this collection has been discontinued now (meaning,Royal Albert is not adding to this collection), but you can still get pieces on Amazon and probably other sites---probably even Macy's----and this is one of those purchases that just...make....you....gasp! Well, it makes me gasp.

Nice pattern and design. Item is quite small.

I am starting a tea cup collection for my 18 month-old granddaughter. I figure that I will give her this serving tray and the matching teacup when she is about 3 yrs old. I'll add other cups every few years, and she will inherit the collection that my mother gave me. I expect that we will consume a lot of tea, cookies and tea sandwiches. We'll chat about this and that and admire tea cups!

I ordered this tray to go with the rest of my polka rose collection for my Christmas present as it was on sale for a great price. It is absolutely beautiful and the perfect size for finger sandwiches, scones or cookies and was a perfect match. Unfortunately it arrived shattered from Blinq.com so I contacted them for a replacement but sadly they were sold out. They were very fast to offer a full refund however. I am on the lookout for a replacement at a similar price...
