[QUOTE="bluumz, post: 3151541, member: 649"]I love Paragon cups and saucers! I have a beautiful one with parasols on it. Your mark is post-1957 and the “Her Majesty“ mentioned would have been Queen Elizabeth II. Many Paragon cups and saucers are highly collectible and bring big prices, as you have seen. Yours is very desirable. :) Many, if not most, Paragon patterns did not have names. I believe “floating rose” is simply how collectors refer to your pattern. “By appointment“ does not mean that it was a commemorative item or created for a certain event. In general, royalty allows the use of their royal warrants on items from manufacturers they patronize themselves. Details on this could be found by googling. Here is some helpful info on Paragon: [URL]http://www.thepotteries.org/allpotters/784.htm[/URL][/QUOTE]
