This is a very rare Doris shaped Royal Albert Crown China teacup and saucer-manufactured only for a short time between the 1920s and 1930s. The pattern is “Lovebirds”, and is a beauty-with a crisp white background with hand painted red and black detailing, including red love birds on a branch.
Very good vintage condition as described. The saucer pings nicely. The teacup does not ring as true-I looked very, very closely under a bright magnifier and just see a bit of very fine crazing in some spots.
