THE PARAGON CHINA FACTORY WAS A BRITISH MANUFACTURER OF BONE CHINA 1919-1960, BASED IN LONDON PREVIOUSLY KNOWN AS THE STAR CHINA COMPANY 1913-1920 AND MORE RECENTLY PART OF THE ROYAL DOULTON GROUP.....PARAGON WAS KNOWN FOR ITS HIGH QUALITY TEA AND TABLEWARE AND WAS GRANTED ROYAL WARRANTS BY THE BRITISH ROYAL FAMILY. THIS BONE CHINA TRIO WAS A GREAT FIND DUE TO ITS RARITY, IT IS HAND PAINTED AND IN EXCELLENT ANTIQUE CONDITION,WITH NO HAIRLINE CRACKS OR CHIPS, I HAVE HELD THIS CUP TO THE DAYLIGHT AND SHONE A TORCH INTO AND AROUND THE OUTSIDE OF THIS CUP OVER AND OVER AND I CANNOT SEE ANY HAIRLINE CRACKS, THERE IS HOWEVER VERY FINE, UNSTAINED CRAZING TO THE GLAZE, TO THE CUP IN PARTICULAR, WHICH CANNOT BE SEEN WITH THE NAKED EYE...... CUP HEIGHT 6cm, SAUCER DIA 14.3cm, PLATE DIA 15.5cm. JUG HEIGHT 11cm, LARGE PLATE DIA 24.5cm.
