Introduced in 1933 and discontinued in 2001, Blossom Time is a cherished Royal Albert pattern born from a collaboration with G. R. Palmeter, who envisioned it to celebrate Nova Scotia’s Apple Blossom Festival. The design captures a romantic snapshot of apple trees in full bloom at Ralph Eaton’s Annapolis Valley farm, rendered in delicate pinks and greens with gold trim—a hallmark of Royal Albert’s English cottage garden aesthetic .
Originally featuring square plates (later adapted to round) and discontinued pieces like milk pitchers, Blossom Time remains sought-after by collectors worldwide for its nostalgic charm and artisan craftsmanship. Its rarity and ties to Canadian heritage make fractured fragments ideal for upcycled pendants, transforming them into wearable heirlooms
