I just bought this Paragon tea cup and saucer at a collector's show in town. It was so different I just had to buy it. However, I can't find anything similiar in my research. I think the mark on the back is from the 1950's, but any patterns I have come across from that era are nothing like this one.
I also bought another Paragon tea cup (maybe from the early 50's) but the difference in weight between the two of them is strange. The piece below is a lot heavier (but the "ringing" sound is more distinct"). The other one I bought is very light and fragile, almost see-through.
Does anyone know anything about the era of this cup, or why the bizaare art work, which is so different than the normal "flower" tea cups?
Thanks.
