The tea set is not made in England, is made in Indonesia. The quality is also not like the one which I bought before. Of course, made in England is better than made in Indonesia but you cann't complain to the price.

I ordered the full set. Anything within the last 8 years is made in Indonesia. The set I got was atrocious. The tea pot was crooked, the knob on the sugar dish was askew, the colors weren't as vibrant as the made in england pieces I have. Don't order the new stuff. It's junk.

It is good quality for the price. The bottom only says Royal Albert bone china and of course 1962 Royal Albert ltd. The very best china will cost plenty. It is something one should see and purchase in person in my opinion.

It's not made in England, it's in Bangalore, definitely it's not first quality! The bottom of each piece looks normal.

The tea set that I purchased for my mom in 2007 is beautiful. I am not where I can check the stamp right now, but I remember that of the items I ordered that Christmas from this set which included a soup taurine and a casserole dish this was the only one with the appropriate insignia and was the only one that was of superior quality. Mom wasn't disappointed at all by this set. She didn't love the other stuff as much, but this one blew her away. She still uses it today and loves it.

I looked at all the pieces in the set - I see no stamps or indication of location of manufacturer.

The Set I purchased years ago say England. I purchased extra dinner plates 2 years ago and they are stamped made in China.

Stamping says "engineered in USA". Mught be a play on words, might not. What's I know is its a fantastic quality set of cookware. I have zero regrets!

The original packaging told me where they are made, but I forget. Not England, though. ( maybe VietNam?)The stamp at the bottom reads exactly like my original cream and sugar:ROYAL ALBERTBONE CHINA (followed by a small circled either B or R)CIRCLED C 1962 ROYAL ALBERT LTD..

Not all Portmeirion plates are authenic only the ones that actually say "Made in England" on the back of the plate. Some fakes will say "Made in China". Hope that helps you.

This piece is stamped on the bottom with Johnson Bros Friendly Village (England 1883). It is dishwasher, freezer and microwave safe. THIS DOES NO MEAN IT WAS MADE IN ENGLAND. My experience has been that in order to be made in England is must have a 'red' smudge on the bottom. I may be wrong!

No, this is made in China, and the quality is noticeably lower than that of the same item from previous years. It feels heavier, the china is a bit thicker, and there are subtle differences in the decoration. That being said, these Royal Albert teacups have not been made in England for a long while - I bought the same teacup set a few years ago and that was made in Indonesia.

It was made in England. The set is beautiful, albeit smaller than most American plates.

I believe the original pieces were made in England. My daughters had the set 30 years ago and the ones I bought for my grandsons are the same quality. Very happy with my purchase.

The set of china we received says "Made in Bangladesh" on it. I do not believe it was made in England

I think so. It has an E & W London stamp on the bottom and it seems to me the packaging postage was international.

Made in China stamped on bottom of pot. I do really like the pot, but I had hoped it was made in England

It seems like it is from Royal Doulton factory in Indonesia but it is not marked anywhere on the plates or cups, unlike some old Royal Doulton China that i have, which was made in England and has the marking "Made in England".

England is stamped on bottom of both the small and the large plates. The mugs have no "made in" stamp at all presumably because they are made in China. Most accessories for this set are also made in China.

I have seen Royal Albert pieces marked made in England, made in USA, and made in China. The plates we purchased most recently do not have a "made in" on them, but the real thing will have "bone china" on it. A serving bowl we received recently as a gift has a paper label on it saying "Made in China."

I looked on the bottom. It is definitely stamped "Made in France." In case it matters, I REALLY like this pot. It is better than I expected.
