Antiques And Teacups: Dating Royal Albert Old Country Roses

Listen to poem:

*Image of Royal Alberts by Antiques And Teacups. Drinking a Cup of Tea An outing drizzling visits two, walking past a depot. Dashing through the rain they withdrew, in a dressed gazebo. Fine Albert's Country Rose teacups, set on top matching plates. Buttered toast and biscuit warmups, a quaint morning translates. Orange pekoe redolent blends, blissful sip indulges, chews, nibbles, and napkin wipe trends, engaging divulges. Taste spirits chatter that transcends, ere squall is forgotten, decency trades a storm extends, a spot of tea brought in. 2023 February 04

When I sold moms Honolulu house, there were other priceless things that went missing when I moved back to California. Filed complaints to Hawaii and California officials and the BBB. Somewhat glad to know that that year, they're no longer in business--but, it also meant that I wouldn't be able to further recoup my losses, c'est la vie mon amie.

When she passed, I sold most of moms things, including her Rosewood Glass China Cabinet, but sadly lost her complete 12-pc set of the Prince Albert's, the complete 12-pc set of the Blue Dutch Boy Porcelain, and her Waterford crystals, and complete silver--utensils, 2 candelabras, coffeepot set, tea set, and the punchbowl set. All from that lit-up China cabinet which the movers in Calif. paid $400 per contract! Thanks, Linda. Aloha, William
