Was made between 1933 & 1937 and is worth between about $75.00.  Below is some history for you....

 

Paragon China Ltd., Longton

NOTE: The article which follows originally appeared in a 1956 book 'British Potters and Pottery Today', and is based mainly upon accounts provided by the pottery firms themselves.

The firm was inaugurated as a partnership under the name of Star China in 1897, the principals being H. J. Aynsley and Hugh Irving.  In 1919, at the beginning of the inter-war years, Hugh Irving became the sole proprietor, a private Limited Company was formed and the name changed to Paragon China, Ltd. Since that time it has had the advantages which only accrue from the direction being in the hands of one family of potters. Irving's two sons Leslie and Guy Irving in due course joined their father, the former in 1928, the latter in 1933.

In its early day the activities of the business were limited to tea and breakfast wares and the greater part of their output was exported to Australia, New Zealand and South Africa.  But early in the 1930's this policy was expanded to meet the requirements of the trans-Atlantic Continent – Canada, the United States and South America. To this end it was found necessary to enter the china dinner ware field.

In 1933 Paragon China Ltd. was honored by being appointed China Manufacturers to the late Queen Mary and in 1938 a similar Royal Appointment was granted by H.M. Queen Elizabeth.
