FABULOUS floral design in this wide rimmed hand painted Paragon pansy tea cup. Striking black background with yellow and pink pansies on a pastel yellow base. Trimmed in gold. The cup measures 2 inches tall by almost 4 inches wide. The saucer measures 5 1/2 inches across. The gold trim is in good condition with little if no wear evident. The pattern inside the tea cup has a few black specks which looks like the original black background paint had spotted. A FANTASTIC addition to your collection!
The Royal warrant backstamp would date this set between 1938-52, "By Appointment H.M. The Queen & H.M. Queen Mary, Fine Bone China, England, Regd". The saucer is numbered G6600/5 %. The backstamp is a purple color with double royal warrant.
