No wear to the transfer design and no visible wear to gold gilding. It honestly does not look as though it was ever used. The large open shape and pronounced handle is similar to the famous ATHENS shape used by Aynsley.
Cup measures 2 1/4" tall at sides, and 2 1/2" to top of handle and 4 7/8" across including handle; saucer 5 1/2" across. Marked with Paragon shield mark used in the 1960s. Please ignore all white spots on all photos caused by camera flash. This lovely cup and saucer would make a great addition to your collection. Please remember that my items are vintage and not store-bought-new and some minor wear from age and use should be expected.
