Paragon Company History, per Wikipedia: "The Paragon China Company was a British manufacturer of
bone china from 1919 to 1960, based in Longton, Stoke-on-Trent, previously
known as the Star China Company, and more recently part of the Royal Doulton
group. Paragon was noted for producing high quality teaware and tableware,
and was granted royal warrants of appointment by several members of the
British Royal Family." Previously, "the Star China company was
founded in 1897 as a partnership between Herbert Aynsley (great-grandson of
the founder of Aynsley China) and Hugh Irving, trading until 1919, and using
Paragon as a trade name from about 1900. In 1919, after Aynsley's retirement
the company name was changed to Paragon China Company Limited. Irving's two
sons subsequently became managing directors of the business. In its early
history the firm manufactured tea and breakfast wares, exporting to
Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. However, in the 1930s, Paragon
expanded both its market, to include the Americas, and its range of products
to include dinnerware. Also at this time, Paragon began its move towards
creating a smokeless factory, installing electric kilns. The 1960s saw the
company change hands several times, owned for a while by T.C. Wild, then
forming part of Allied English Potteries, then becoming part of Royal
Doulton."
