The Emma Woodhouse Gilded Teacup....Lovely Vintage Footed Paragon Teacup and Saucer

Description

This is a top quality, English bone china teacup and saucer.

"Emma Woodhouse, handsome, clever, and rich, with a comfortable home and happy disposition, seemed to unite some of the best blessings of existence..."

Well, we all know how Emma enjoyed being of some use to those less blessed, and so perhaps she'll let you use her teacup--for a price! This pretty teacup made me think of Gwyneth Paltrow's charming protrayal of Jane Austen's well-loved protagonist, and I can even see her wearing a gown in the same lovely shade of green-aqua! This is a very fine quality vintage Paragon teacup and saucer, and highly collectible. The footed teacup stands approximately 2-1/4" tall and 4" across. The saucer is roughly 5-1/2" in diameter. The colors are a medium green-aqua with deep pink roses, spring-green leaves, and tiny yellow buds. Lots of intricate, filigreed gilding that makes this cup so outstandingly beautiful! The bottom of both cup and saucer are stamped, "By appointment to her Majesty the Queen, China Potters, Paragon, Fine Bone China, England, Regd."

CONDITION: Excellent--near mint! Virtually no wear to the extensive gilding, no chips, cracks, crazing, or fleabites. There are a couple of very minor scratches in the cup well and saucer, but they can be seen only upon careful and close inspection. Virtually no wear to the pattern--very clear and bright! The glaze is bright and shiny with no crazing. This teacup is in sparkling display condition :)
