| This is a Paragon China, England rectangular sandwich tray commemorating the birth of Princess Margaret Rose, younger sister of Queen Elizabeth II of England in 1930. The sandwich tray or server was made with permission of the then Duchess of York, Elizabeth, wife the man who later became King George VI in 1937. Paragon got into trouble by renaming themselves Royal Paragon on the strength of making the souvenir design and earlier Two For Joy for Elizabeth's christening, and in 1931 were allowed the Royal Warrant but had to drop the Royal in their name. This is one of the earlier pieces with the Royal Paragon souvenir mark. The rectangular serving tray measures 1.5 inches high by 12.5 long by 5.6 wide with a design with the Margaret Rose and 2 parakeets or budgies in hand coloring over transfer with hand applied enamel accents and gold trim. The sandwich tray or server is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks or gold wear. | |||||||||
