British Vintage Paragon “Rockingham Red” Demitasse Cup & Saucer

This is a “Rockingham Red” demitasse cup and saucer made around 1957 by Paragon, a renowned English pottery favored by the British Royal Family.

Inspired by the style of the 19th-century Rockingham pottery, it features a rich burgundy-red ground adorned with Rococo scrollwork motifs based on acanthus leaves.
A bird of paradise at the center of the saucer and bouquets of roses and tulips around the rim are beautifully rendered using a combination of transfer printing and hand-painting, evoking classic elegance. There is a slight indentation and some missing color along part of the rim from the manufacturing process, but these do not detract from its overall beauty.

It will add an elegant touch to your home, whether you use it to enjoy espresso after a meal or display it in a cabinet as part of your collection.
