Flower of the Month Series - Michaelmas Daisy - Royal Albert


Here is a saucer missing it's tea cup, but that's okay because it sure is pretty!


This was the saucer that went with the September tea cup.


This series was produced in 1970.  Each month was a different flower.  The flowers featured in this series were:  Snowdrops, Violets, Anemones, Sweet Pea, Lily of the Valley, Roses, Forget-Me-Not, Poppy, Michaelmas Daisy, Cosmos, Chrysanthemum and Christmas Rose

Small Paragon Plate - Tay 'San

Here is the second small china plate I picked up on our BC vacation.  It is also made by Paragon.


I saw somewhere online that this pattern was originally manufactured in 1981.  Paragon was owned by Royal Doulton at that point.

Small Paragon Plate - Tapestry Rose


While vacationing in BC I found a few mismatched china pieces for a great deal!  This small plate is really cute and cheerful!


It's made by Paragon between 1939-1949.  The pattern itself seems to have been produced over a number of years and has a variety of different backstamps.

Green Paragon Tea Cup

Here's another tea cup to share:


It is a beautiful tea cup that is missing it's saucer.  The lady had sold the saucers earlier, then found the matching tea cups!  I think this is a beautiful tea cup, even missing the saucer.  One day I'll find something that will work with it!  Simple white and gold on the outside ... and bright colours on the inside!


Here is the back stamp.  I didn't find this exact one online, but similar one to it dates a tea cup around 1939-1949.
