RARE 1950S PARAGON 3-TIER CAKE STAND - ROCKINGHAM RED PATTERN - BY WARRANT OF QUEEN ELIZABETH OF ENGLAND HAND PAINTED
BEAUTIFUL AND RARE VINTAGE (CIRCA LATE 1950S) PARAGON 3-TIER CAKE STAND.
IT HAS THE BEAUTIFUL AND POPULAR HAND PAINTED ROCKINGHAM RED PATTERN THAT WAS ISSUED BETWEEN 1940 AND 1959.
BACKSTAMP ALTHOUGH ABSCURED A BIT BY THE SILVERPLATED HANDLE AND CENTRAL PIVOT ALSO SHOWS THE ROYAL WARRANT BY QUEEN ELIZABETH.
IN WONDERFUL CONDITION WITH NO CHIPS OR CRACKS AND GOLD GILDING AND ARTWORK STILL VIBRANT AND IN TACT.
ROCKINGHAM PATTERN (ISSUED 1940 - 1959):
GOLD GILT SCROLLS AND DEEP RECENT ACCENTS ON WHITE FINE BONE CHINA, RED, BLUE AND YELLOW FLORAL MOTIFS WITH A COLOURFUL AND VIBRANT BIRD OF PARADISE MOTIF IN THE CENTRE.
THE ROCKINGHAM PATTERN CAME IN GREEN, PINK AND RED WITH THE SAME DESIGN AS WELL. THE RED DESIGN IS ACCORDING TO ME THE MOST STRIKING AND BEAUTIFUL OF THE 3 DESIGNS.
THE PRODUCTION OF PARAGON'S ROCKINGHAM PATTERNS WAS DISCONTINUED MANY YEARS AGO (1959), SO IT IS NOT SURPRISING THAT ITEMS FROM THIS PATTERN HAVE NOW BECOME VERY DIFFICULT TO FIND IN GOOD CONDITION.
ROYAL WARRANT: IN APRIL 1953 PARAGON WAS HONORED BY BEING GRANTED A WARRANT OF APPOINTMENT TO HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN (ELIZABETH). ROYAL WARRANTS MAY BE GRANTED TO PEOPLE OR TO COMPANIES WHO REGULARLY SUPPLY GOODS OR SERVICES TO A PARTICULAR MEMBER OF THE ROYAL FAMILY. STRICT REGULATIONS GOVERN THE WARRANT, WHICH ALLOWS THE GRANTEE OR HIS COMPANY TO USE THE LEGEND 'BY APPOINTMENT' AND DISPLAY THE RELEVANT ROYAL COAT OF ARMS ON PRODUCTS.
MARKINGS: PARAGON BY APPOINTMENT TO HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN CHINA POTTERS PARAGON FINE BONE CHINA ENGLAND REGD
THIS VERSION OF THE PARAGON LOGO WAS USED BETWEEN 1957 AND 1960.
SIZE: 36CM HIGH UP TO HANDLE
BOTTOM TRAY 27CM DIAMETER
MIDDLE TRAY 20CM DIAMETER
TOP TRAY 15CM DIAMETER
CONDITION: NO CHIPS. NO CRACKS. IMAGES STILL VIBRANT. GOLD GILDING IN TACT. OVERALL VERY GOOD CONDITION.
PARAGON: THE STAR CHINA COMPANY WAS FOUNDED IN 1897 AS A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN HERBERT AYNSLEY AND HUGH IRVING, TRADING UNTIL 1919, AND USING PARAGON AS A TRADE NAME FROM ABOUT 1900. IN 1919, AFTER AYNSLEY'S RETIREMENT THE COMPANY NAME WAS CHANGED TO PARAGON CHINA COMPANY LIMITED.
PARAGON WAS NOTED FOR PRODUCING HIGH QUALITY TEAWARE AND TABLEWARE AND EXPORTED A LOT OF ITEMS TO AUSTRALIA, NEW ZEALAND AND SOUTH AFRICA
THE 1960S SAW THE COMPANY CHANGE HANDS SEVERAL TIMES, OWNED FOR A WHILE BY T.C. WILD, THEN FORMING PART OF ALLIED ENGLISH POTTERIES, THEN BECOMING PART OF ROYAL DOULTON.
THE ROYAL COMMEMORATIVE DESIGNS ARE STILL HIGHLY SOUGHT BY COLLECTORS.
