| This is a cup and saucer commemorating the birth of Princess Margaret Rose, younger sister of Queen Elizabeth II of England in 1930 by Paragon China, England. The cup and saucer was made with permission of the then Duchess of York, Elizabeth, wife the man who later became King George VI in 1937. Paragon got into trouble by renaming themselves Royal Paragon on the strength of making the souvenir design and earlier Two For Joy for Elizabeth's christening, and in 1931 were allowed the Royal Warrant but had to drop the Royal in their name. This is one of the 1931 pieces with the Royal Warrant mark. The cream exterior and white cup is 2.65 inches high and the oval saucer is 6 long by 5.25 wide with a design with the Margaret Rose and 2 parakeets or budgies in hand coloring over transfer with hand applied enamel accents and gold trim which marked the Deluxe edition, rather than blue trim. The cup and saucer is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks or gold wear and only very minor utensil marks on the saucer. Shipping in the US by USPS priority insured. | ||||||||
