Royal Albert is widely associated with fine bone china, especially in tea ware. Bone china is a type of porcelain that contains bone ash in its body, which helps produce a bright white look and a strong, light piece. Many Royal Albert items carry “Bone China” on the base. Bone china often shows slight translucency at thin edges and a clear ring when tapped lightly. Still, the best identifier is the backstamp, since many brands use similar floral decoration styles.
