Their presentation is stunning.


HISTORY:
Paragon produced bone china from 1919 to 1960.
This company was based in Longton, Stoke-on-Trent, previously known as The Star China Company.
Paragon manufactured high-quality china and was granted Royal Warrant appointments by several members of the British Royal Family.
The predecessor, the Star China Company, was founded in 1897 by Herbert Aynsley and Hugh Irving.
Royal Doulton eventually acquired it in the 1960s.
However, the name Paragon has been sustained mainly by designs based on traditional floral patterns.
Unfortunately, the early Paragon pattern books are presumed lost; however, collectors still seek after the Royal Commemorative designs.


DIMENSIONS:
12 dinner plates measure 10 1/2 inches in diameter.
12 dessert plates measure 9 inches in diameter.
4 cream soup bowls and saucers are extras.



CONDITION:
The condition of all the pieces is excellent.
The Spode dessert plates appear to be unused.
There are no chips, cracks, or crazing.
