Vintage and Pre-loved

Our vintage and preloved items have a history of use, wear, or small defects that will not impact the joy of owning them. It is common to see tool marks, painting and gilding slips, and internal and surface bubbles or spots created during the manufacturing processes used in the past. Manufacturing defects are not considered damage or noted in the description. The history and manufacturing of vintage items create the charm and appeal of exquisite vintage treasures that are not in new pristine condition.

Vintage treasures are described and represented to the best of our knowledge, noting any chips, cracks, or crazing as outlined in the Condition Rating below. Photos will form part of the description to assist you in your decision-making process.

History of Paragon

Star China Co introduced Paragon China in 1903 by the founding partner's Herbert James Aynsley (founder of John Aynsley & Sons), John Gerrard Aynsley and William Illingworth. In 1920 Paragon China became The Paragon China Company and Paragon China Limited in 1930.

The company was taken over by Thomas C. Wild & Sons Ltd, manufacturers of Royal Albert, in 1960 and merged with the Lawlery Group Ltd, known as Allied English Potteries Ltd, in July 1964.

In 1972 Paragon became part of Royal Doulton and continued to produce china under Paragon until 1991. Royal Albert absorbed the Paragon name and patterns by 1989; in 1992, the Paragon name was discontinued.
