The set was made in England over 70+ years ago in the 1940s of high quality English bone china. The beautiful large pink rose and little rose bud are set off by the pastel yellow background which contrasts perfectly with the cobalt blue as well on both the teacup and the saucer.

Heavy gilding adds to the lovely design of the pieces. Backstamp: "Double Warrant" as follows: Paragon By Appointment.

Along with the Paragon mark it appears that the pattern number is hand marked on the bottom of the saucer along with other letters - typically the gilder's and painter's marks. Photo notes: The photo makes the yellow look lighter on the saucer however it matches the tea cup perfectly.

Also, two photos of the cup and saucer make the cobalt blue look brighter because a flash was used in the photos.
