The history of "Royal Albert China" began in 1896 when Thomas Clark Wild bought a pottery in Longton, Stoke on Trent, England, called Albert Works, which had been named the year before in honor of the birth of Prince Albert.

After producing several commemorative bone-china pieces for Queen Victoria's 1897 Diamond Jubilee, a Royal Warrant was earned in 1904. A Royal Warrant is issued by the sovereign, authorizing a company to display the royal arms, which indicates that goods and services are supplied to the sovereign or a member of the royal family. The warrant enables the supplier to advertise the fact that they supply to the issuer of the Royal Warrant, thus lending a great deal of prestige to the supplier.
