Why Royal Patrician?

More tea is consumed worldwide than any other beverage except water. Each day, over one and a half BILLION cups of tea are brewed.
The English pottery industry had its beginnings in the mid 1600’s, in the town of Burslem, North Staffordshire (an area in the middle of England not far from the major cities of Birmingham and Manchester). The confluence of coal and clay in the region gave potters the material for producing teapots and the fuel to fire them.
One can just imagine, as we drink tea today from English teapots and cup/saucers, just how many cups of tea have been consumed from English tea ware in the past three and a half centuries. As the beverage of tea becomes ever more popular in the U.S., our goal at Royal Patrician is to provide the connection to English pottery which has long made having “a cuppa” such a pleasurable event.
Owning a piece of English tea ware provides your customer with a connection to afternoon tea at the Ritz, Savoy, or Claridge’s in London. “Would you care for India, China, or Ceylon tea, Madam?” “Milk or Lemon?” “Enjoy the cucumber sandwiches, scones, and clotted cream, Madam.”
With Royal Patrician Fine Tea Ware you are provided with a brief respite from the frenzied world we live in and a trip back in time to a more refined era. Who could ask for more?
