PARAGON: THE STAR CHINA COMPANY WAS FOUNDED IN 1897 AS A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN HERBERT AYNSLEY AND HUGH IRVING, TRADING UNTIL 1919, AND USING PARAGON AS A TRADE NAME FROM ABOUT 1900. IN 1919, AFTER AYNSLEY'S RETIREMENT THE COMPANY NAME WAS CHANGED TO PARAGON CHINA COMPANY LIMITED.
PARAGON WAS NOTED FOR PRODUCING HIGH QUALITY TEAWARE AND TABLEWARE AND EXPORTED A LOT OF ITEMS TO AUSTRALIA, NEW ZEALAND AND SOUTH AFRICA
THE 1960S SAW THE COMPANY CHANGE HANDS SEVERAL TIMES, OWNED FOR A WHILE BY T.C. WILD, THEN FORMING PART OF ALLIED ENGLISH POTTERIES, THEN BECOMING PART OF ROYAL DOULTON.
Royal Doulton continued the use of the Paragon name, but by 1989 the name and patterns had generally been absorbed into Doulton's Royal Albert brand. Doulton discontinued use of the paragon name from c.1991. Some Paragon patterns continued in production under Royal Albert until the Royal Albert name was discontinued by Doulton.
