A rare opportunity to acquire a beautiful part-service of Paragon Fine Bone China in the elegant and highly collectible Pattern 53471. This mid-century collection features a delicate yellow floral motif with intricate gold filigree and heavy gilding.
The Royal Connection
The core of this set (trios and open bowl) carries the prestigious "Double Royal Warrant" backstamp: "By Appointment to H.M. The Queen & H.M. Queen Mary," dating these pieces precisely between 1939 and 1952. The serving plates, lidded sugar jar, and teapot feature the later production stamp (post-1953), indicating they were likely added to the service shortly after the coronation. All pieces are a perfect pattern match and have been kept in incredible condition for their age.
