Paragon Bow Appraisal

Paragon Fine Bone China "BOW" Pattern Saucers

Two small ceramic plates, likely saucers, made from fine bone china by Paragon in England. The pattern features vibrant floral bouquets scattered across the white surface, with prominent pink and blue flowers, accented by smaller yellow and green details. The rim of each plate is decorated with a decorative band consisting of a repeating pattern of pink and blue geometric shapes, framed by gold gilt lines. The center of each plate has a raised ring, characteristic of saucers designed to hold a teacup or coffee cup. The overall condition appears good with no visible chips, cracks, or significant wear to the decoration. The gold gilt trim around the rim of each plate shows minimal signs of rubbing or loss. The underside of each plate bears a clear manufacturer's mark in gold lettering: "By Appointment to her majesty the Queen China Potters Paragon fine bone china made in England L/L". Additionally, the pattern name "BOW" is present in red writing. The "By Appointment" marking suggests a date of manufacture during the reign of a British monarch, likely Queen Elizabeth II given the style. The craftsmanship appears to be of high quality, typical of Paragon fine bone china.
