The History of Royal Albert China Launched in 1904, Royal Albert China has now become synonymous with china tea ware and tableware. Its origins date even further back to 1896, when Thomas Wild Senior and Thomas C. Wild bought a factory in Stoke-on-Trent called Albert Works. It only took one year of production for Thomas Wild to be given a Royal Warrant, after creating a range of commemorative pieces for The Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee. The warrant and the factory name both led to the creation of the Royal Albert brand in 1904. From 1920, the famous Royal Albert floral style developed, taking inspiration from the English cottage garden with a hint of Art Deco style.
