Roslyn China
Originally Reid & Co, in 1946 they were incorporated as a limited company and the business name changed to Roslyn China. As with many china companies at the time they were part of the Thomas C Wild group of companies, with Thomas E. Wild and Frederick J. Wild as partners. They had overseas agents in Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. As part of rationalisation the Roslyn China business was closed in July 1963.

The Paragon China Company
Originally the Star China company formed in 1897 as a partnership between Herbert Aynsley (great-grandson of the founder of Aynsley China) and Hugh Irving. After Aynsley's retirement in 1919 the company changed it's name to Paragon China Company Limited. Manufacturing bone china from 1919 to 1960, based in Longton, Stoke-on-Trent. 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.

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 its market, to include the Americas, and its range of products to include dinnerware. 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.

There are no visible cracks or chips. However, the item has been previously owned and is in good condition, with typical age related marks.
