Star China Art Deco Hand Painted Teacup, Saucer and Tea Plate Trio

A stylish teacup, saucer and tea plate manufactured by Star China Co, Atlas Works, Staffordshire Potteries (subsequently Paragon China (Co) Ltd., England.  The trio dates to circa 1926 and is typical of Art Deco design. The rims of each piece are decorated with  hand painted patterns of symetrical bright yelliow bands and  solid black lines.  Beneath the yellow band are hand painted scroll and dot patterns which contrast well against the crisp white background.  The teacup looped handle is slightly angular and pointed and is painted with a black strip details.  The teacup has a nice rounded shape with a low pedestal base.

DIMENSIONS:  Teacup height 6cm  x Teacup diameter 7.8cm -  Saucer diameter 13.5cm -Tea Plate diameter 17cm Pattern  Reg No. 647426 Pattern No. 6172

Condition: In very good antique condition. Teacup rings well. Nice bright colours throughout. As this is an older set, there are some visible utensil scratch marks on the saucer and tea plate.  A few tiny  spots of wear on the teacup rim (nothing that detracts from the unique design).  There is a tiny flick of stray black paint on the tea plate and some firing spots  inside the teacup on the base as well as a few firing spots on the saucer and tea plate.  These characteristics are all  commensurate with older china.
