Which Royal Doulton Anniversary Teacup is Your Favorite? A Poll

If you received this month’s copy of Teatime Magazine, you were treated to the article, A Fine Legacy, filled with pictures and descriptions of each of the ten teacups representing the past ten decades of Royal Albert China. Royal Albert is part of Royal Doulton, with Old Country Roses as probably its most famous pattern. Personally, I went nuts over one of the decades’ cups. I thought the pattern was perfectly “me”. I’ll tell you which one is my favorite in a minute. (Mom, I bet you can guess). I’m curious how YOU would answer. As one who believes strongly in the value of learning our own personal style, I appreciate the variety of choices represented in these ten teacups.

Here’s a link to the choices. Be sure to scroll down. Take a look and then come back and click on the poll below. It’s fun to read a little about British history during your decade of choice. And feel free to leave a comment and tell us your favorite as well. While I wait to hear from you, I’ll be checking to see if any of the Polka Rose is showing up on eBay yet. Darling! Unfortunately, the website doesn’t do the color justice as represented in the print magazine.

What a hard choice -to narrow it down to one! I’ve narrowed it down to Polka Rose, Spring Meadow & English Chintz. I’m leaning towards the chintz…What a fun poll! I can’t wait to see how others vote!

Spring Meadow is my favorite, but Polka Rose is second, and then maybe Golden Roses. So pretty!

I love “Polka Rose” too! So simple and sweet. And suprisingly, my second favorite one is the “Poppy”.

I found Old Country Roses my favorite, so I was sorry I didn’t find it in the choices above. But in those above, the 1920 Spring Meadow was my favorite. My second favorite was the 1640 English Chintz, except that it’s a little bit “busy” for me.

What a fun survey this was!

Jenny, What a fun poll! I love Old Country Roses the best–it’s what I have. But, out of the 10 listed, Polka Rose would be my first choice and Hartington Lane would run a close second. Which is your favorite?

Oh, I love anything with flowers. This was fun!

While I like them all, my favorite is Poppy. This pattern seems to match my personality.

Spring Meadow drew my attention as soon as I saw it in the magazine. It really does remind me of a Spring morning.

I have Royal Albert’s Lavender Rose, purchased the entire set for about $80.00 at Goodwill. Sometimes one is at the right place, at the right time, and actually has the money to buy it!
