An exquisite vintage Paragon Fine Bone China tea cup and saucer set featuring a richly coloured cobalt blue ground with elaborate heavy gold gilt decoration and a beautifully hand painted pink rose centre.
This elegant cabinet-style set is artist signed “F. Plant” to both the cup and saucer, adding collectible appeal and showcasing the fine hand-finished craftsmanship associated with higher quality mid-century English bone china.
The deep cobalt blue colouring contrasted with intricate gilded scrollwork creates a luxurious and highly decorative presentation, while the delicately painted rose centre adds softness and refinement. The elegant shape, pedestal foot and richly detailed border give the piece exceptional cabinet display presence.
A striking and increasingly desirable example of classic English tea ware from the 1950s–1960s period, ideal for collectors of signed cabinet cups, Paragon china and decorative gilt tea sets.
