Vintage OCR 1962, not recently manufactured stock from Asia. This is the original fine bone chinaware made in the UK, and it’s absolutely first quality, not a factory second! Right on the bottom of the tureen you will see the coveted backstamp, “Old Country Roses Bone China England 1962 Royal Albert LTD”! MSR for this highly valued and sought after piece today is $715 and it’s made in Indonesia. Unfortunately, that quality is nowhere near the original and best OCR that was manu...factured in England!! The soup tureen is the undisputed crown jewel in your Old Country Roses collection, and will be playing the star role in the holiday dinners that are coming up. Perfect condition with no cracks, chips, or crazing. It’s been kept safe in a huge China cabinet for years and only brought out a few times over the decades for extra special family gatherings. A beautiful addition to compliment your collection and the most expensive and distinguished piece in Royal Albert‘s entire extensive Old Country Roses line. It will bring beauty and grace to your table and serve your loved ones in elegance and style for years to come. Postage price will include insurance for the full value paid, and it will be sent with signature required. You have my assurance that I’ll take extra care in packing this for you. This is one of the last pieces my sister had from her huge collection. Most were destroyed by the movers when she downsized. She is too heartbroken to start collecting the pattern all over again so she’s asked me to post whatever pieces made it. I was so happy to see that the tureen wasn’t smashed by the movers. It was my own favorite piece of china out of all the pieces my sister collected. I’m hoping this lovely tureen will go to a home where it will be welcomed and cherished. That’s where you come in!Shipping is a flat rate in the CONUS only, but if you are an international buyer or live in Alaska or Hawaii, please email me your address so I can give you a shipping quote before you purchase.My sister has recently downsized and has asked me to post household and clothing items she has eliminated, as she simplifies her life. She has had me list her entire professional wardrobe since she has had successful bypass surgery. The items range from size 18 down to 14. She has many, many items that are all in style and very nice for the office so please look at the other listings. All her clothing or household pieces are from higher end retail/designer labels, most are very lightly used and some are even new with or w/o tags. Many clothing items have been dry cleaned and still have the cleaner’s tags! All items I list are always 100% authentic and come from a smoke free home. You are bidding on gently used clothing and as such, the items are not, unless listed, new and you should not expect them to be perfect like they would in a store, purchased off the rack. This also means that there may be an occasional spot or snag that I or my camera may have inadvertently missed. I do my best to take accurate pictures and look over each item, but I am not perfect! If there is a gross misrepresentation of any item I of course will make an exception, but since I do not run an ebay business and sell only very occasionally, I do not accept returns. For this reason, if you are unsure of anything, please feel free to contact me to ask me any questions before you bid.International Customers, duties at customs are your responsibility and something completely out of my control. This is not included in the price of the purchase.Payment: Payment (PayPal only) is due immediately, and for best offers accepted, within 48 hours. I happily combine shipping. I ship Saturdays because I work and go to school full time, but I will try to get your items in the mail earlier if I possibly can.Feedback: If there is a problem, please contact me before you leave feedback and I will work to resolve the problem.
