Paragon China (1919 ~ 1960) was based in Longton, Stoke-On-Kent and produced very high quality fine china with a range of stunning designs, particularly breakfast settings.
Over it's history, the company was awarded a number of Royal warrants and eventually Paragon became part of the Royal Doulton group (1972).

Gilding is in very good condition, I have carefully examined the gilding all the way around the rim and I cannot see any patches of wear - this saucer was barely used by us as it has been sitting in the bottom of our display cabinet for a long time (teacup got broken)
