Royal Standard is a British bone china brand, prominent in the mid-20th century (approx. 1930s–1960s), based in Stoke-on-Trent, the heart of the British pottery industry. ♥~ A Little Historical Context: Many assume that collecting and acquiring antique bone china is an exclusive pleasure for the upper class. However, a significant portion of antique bone china consumers in Europe and America today are discerning individuals from the middle class. Antique bone china collections are typically categorized by era or type. For instance, pieces from much earlier periods like the George (1714–1830) or Victoria (1873–1904) eras are rarely found on the market, and collectors are often reluctant to part with them. Currently, there's a growing interest in collecting pieces from the Edwardian (1905–1910) and Art Deco (1925–1945) periods. Novice collectors or those new to the hobby might find it best to start by selecting items with compositions, colors, and styles that personally appeal to them. ♥~ Annie's View: Collecting antique coffee or tea cups is akin to collecting works of art. Each piece reflects the collector's personal taste, the historical context of its time, and the mood of the era. Beyond that, they offer a delightful way to enjoy afternoon tea with friends. More importantly, the collecting process itself expands one's knowledge and appreciation—truly a rewarding pastime. Please note that product photos may have color variations.
