Description

As it embarks on a new century of fine china design, Royal Albert honors the artistic achievements of the one it has so faithfully chronicled with this stunning 100 Years of Royal Albert tribute collection. Employing classic shapes and delicate floral motifs, the 10-part series, which includes teaware, figurines, and brooches, recalls major British historical events and style trends from each decade of the 21st century. Inspiration for the series came from previous Royal Albert designs and its archive pattern books. This 10-piece teacup and saucer set includes the patterns from 1900 to 1940. Crafted of bone china with lustrous 22-karat gold trim, the five pairs all share the same shape for a highly coordinated look at the table while showcasing the special beauty of each decade's design. For instance, set the dark, ornate 1910 Duchess next to the simple, fresh 1930 Polka Rose for an unexpected combination that delights the senses. Royal Albert's signature roses provide a common theme that ties the styles together. Each piece has a commemorative backstamp, and the set comes packaged in a presentation-style pink and burgundy hatbox with illustrations of all the patterns. The china is dishwasher-safe and carries a two-year warranty. --Kara Karll

Description

Recasting history as a particularly lavish soap opera, Victoria and Albert sets the story of the relationship between the queen and her consort against a background of family strife and political wrangling. Sticklers for accuracy might be disappointed, but the strong cast and lavish production values make for an entertaining film. Victoria is barely 18 when her uncle King William IV dies. She is introduced by the family adviser to a young German prince called Albert, and in spite of their initial indifference to one another and a great deal of political opposition, they fall in love. Marriage brings its own problems, however, and as Victoria, grows from an inexperienced young woman into a shrewd and powerful monarch Albert struggles to find a role for himself in both the family and the nation. The relationship between Victoria and Albert was a remarkable one and this film, while occasionally erring on the side of sentiment, brings that relationship to life. The young leads are charming, but it is the supporting cast of British acting stalwarts--including Nigel Hawthorne, David Suchet, and Diana Rigg--who make Victoria and Albert truly worth watching. --Simon Leake

Description

In 1950, only 1 percent of the American population had televisions; by the end of the decade, more than half of the homes in the U.S. had sets. Welcoming this new era of communications was producer Robert Saudek's weekly hour-and-a-half program, Omnibus. Alastair Cooke hosted the live, Emmy-award-winning program, which ran from 1952 to 1961. Featuring drama, dance, music, science, art, history, and opera, the show brought in crisp black and white an extraordinary world to people's living rooms. Omnibus: Television's Golden Age is a 100-minute documentary, narrated by Hume Cronyn (who tells a marvelous story about working with the then-unknown actor James Dean), about the groundbreaking show that incorporates full-length skits. These include: Les Paul and Mary Ford performing together; Frank Lloyd Wright discussing the cost of designing a house (a remarkable $30,000 to $45,000); comedy team Mike Nichols and Elaine Mays performing a telephone skit that is still funny today; Dr. Seuss talking about his favorite museum; Johnny Unitas and Sugar Ray Robinson as the impetus for a new dance; Eartha Kitt singing a Turkish song; Archibald MacLeish narrating a piece about Grandma Moses; the Benny Goodman Trio playing Gershwin; and more. This program also shows what the times were like as Cooke takes to the streets of New York to discover "Night People"; spends a day at The New York Times; and allows Senator John F. Kennedy Jr. to host a segment on courage. There are touching moments as well, as when an older Cronyn watches himself and Jessica Tandy performing in A Streetcar Named Desire. This marvelous documentary will not only be appreciated by those who watched the TV show when it was live, but by new audiences who will see the real potential television has. --Jenny Brown
