The Cozy Pineapple is a Royal Albert Authorized RetailerThe story of Royal Albert stretches back over one hundred years to a small pottery business established by Thomas Wild in 1896, in Longton - one of the six towns that make up Stoke-on-Trent, “The Potteries”.
This household name began as a family business, for it was the ability and work of Thomas and his sons – Fred and Tom (Thomas Clark or TC) – that made the company famous for bone china tea and breakfast sets. The tribute paid to Fred Wild at his death in 1961 could equally apply to all of the others, “Much of the success of Royal Albert is a direct result of Fred's courage, foresight and enterprise”.
Royal Albert continues to update its romantic, fashionable image…. Thanks to a licensee agreement with fashion icon Zandra Rhodes, she is endorsing her range of “My Favourite Things” with Royal Albert, featuring her signature butterfly and wiggle as a theme across tableware, giftware, and glassware. Like Royal Albert, she has a quintessentially English appeal that reaches across the globe.
Today, Royal Albert’s impressive, elegant portfolio features tableware and complementary giftware, collectable teas and plates, and crystal and glassware.
Royal Albert, like its global customers, remains “….passionate about florals”.
