Vtg Paragon Fine Bone China Cobalt Blue & Gold Purple Violets Tea Cup Saucer Set

  
Absolutely gorgeous vintage gilded cobalt blue teacup and saucer set, made by Paragon of England. I'm not sure of the date, but I believe it's from the 1950s. Exquisite condition as pictured, but there is one teeny tiny line through a flower in the cup, not sure if that's an original flaw or if it was scratched slightly. I cannot feel a scratch with my fingertip. Very hard to notice, especially when filled with tea (see picture). There is a gold #3 written on the bottom of the cup, and the number R:3866 is painted on the bottom of the saucer, as well as what looks like a Japanese kanji character, or it's some other kind of mark I don't recognize. There is also a slight spot of blue on the underside of the saucer that appears to be original to the piece.
