<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikeamondo, post: 3151434, member: 17011&quot;]Howdy folks,</p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp; We bought this teacup in a box of other dainty teacups at an estate sale.&nbsp; We nearly had a heart attack when we spotted an identical one having sold for over $1,300 on eBay.&nbsp; We&#039;ve searched online a good bit and found some info on this teacup, however, we&#039;ve been left with questions and would like opinions. I&#039;ll start with what we&#039;ve found, and then the pics will be at the bottom....</p><p>First, here&#039;s the link to sold one on Ebay...&nbsp; this link should be accessible until late January &#039;21: <a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/Rare-PARAGON-Heavy-Gold-Blue-Tea-Cup-Saucer-Red-Cabbage-Floating-Rose-England/333763011266?hash=item4db5d362c2:g:SfUAAOSwr8Nfkfwe" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/Rare-PARAGON-Heavy-Gold-Blue-Tea-Cup-Saucer-Red-Cabbage-Floating-Rose-England/333763011266?hash=item4db5d362c2:g:SfUAAOSwr8Nfkfwe" rel="nofollow">https://www.ebay.com/itm/Rare-PARAGON-Heavy-Gold-Blue-Tea-Cup-Saucer-Red-Cabbage-Floating-Rose-England/333763011266?hash=item4db5d362c2:g:SfUAAOSwr8Nfkfwe</a></p><p>At the time of this listing, using the search &#039;Paragon Floating Rose&#039; at ebay, we saw another one in the pick variant hit $1,380 on 50+ bids.&nbsp; There were also several listed in that price range, but very few in the blue, like ours.</p><p>Replacements.com:&nbsp; Searched thousands of patterns and played with the keywords, etc, but could not find any more info on this particular pattern.</p><p>Googling Paragon Floating Rose, you find a good bit of information on Paragon and you see images of similar and identical teacups.&nbsp; Among the info we gleaned was the fact that some patterns made &quot;by appointment&quot; were created specifically to honor specific events.... coronations, births, etc.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Our questions are:&nbsp; Is it really that valuable, and if so, why?</p><p>Is this Queen Elizabeth II&#039;s warrant?&nbsp; If not, who&#039;s is it?</p><p>Does anyone know if it was made for a specific event?</p><p><br /></p><p>We are hoping to get as much info as possible to create an appropriate listing.&nbsp; We are treasure hunters and it appears we may have found some actual treasure here!</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are the pics:</p><p><img src="https://theautoexpo.com/images/MikesPics/Paragon/paragon1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="https://theautoexpo.com/images/MikesPics/Paragon/paragon2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://theautoexpo.com/images/MikesPics/Paragon/paragon3.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="https://theautoexpo.com/images/MikesPics/Paragon/paragon4.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="https://theautoexpo.com/images/MikesPics/Paragon/paragon5.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="https://theautoexpo.com/images/MikesPics/Paragon/paragon6.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
