Era / Decade
1990s-2000s; This specific black-and-white 'Night Sky' or specialty monochrome interpretation of the classic Old Country Roses pattern was produced later than the original 1962 multi-color launch.
Material
Fine Bone China with 22-carat gold gilding on the rim and base.
Condition
Excellent. Based on the photo, there are no visible chips or cracks. The gold gilding appears intact without significant rubbing, which is the primary value driver for Royal Albert pieces.
Demand Level

Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (best for international reach), Etsy (best for vintage decor seekers), or Poshmark (Home category). Local sales via Facebook Marketplace are possible but may yield lower prices.
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Monochrome', 'Chintz', 'Grandmillennial', and 'Replacement'. Photograph against a clean, white background instead of the blue tinsel to show the true color. Ship with double-boxing and plenty of bubble wrap as transit damage is the biggest risk for this item.
