Paragon Double Warrant
Cobalt Blue and Gold Filigree Rose Mixed Bouquet

Vintage Paragon Double Warrant bone china teacup and saucer set. Manufactured in England, this highly collectible set features a vibrant cobalt blue border accented by ornate, heavy gold filigree overlay, finished with a classic rose mixed bouquet illustration centered inside the cup and on the saucer. Circa 1939 - 1949 specific date window coincides with WWII british pottery restrictions and is determined by Paragon’s famous "Double Warrant" backstamp printed on the bottom. During this decade, the Paragon China Company was officially appointed as an authorized fine china supplier to two members of the British Royal Family simultaneously: HM Queen Mary and HM Queen Elizabeth (the Queen Mother). This style is highly sought after by collectors and is universally known as the Paragon "Floating Cabbage Rose" pattern. These heavy gilt pieces were luxury, high-end display items rather than mass-produced daily dinnerware. Each set required extensive manual labor, including hand-painting the floral detailing and carefully overlaying the intricate 22k gold filigree. In very good preowned condition, no signs of use if so, a minor 'in the making' flaw from the original production, kiln pop and gold skip in the base trim upon close inspection.
