Know before you buy
No, this saucer is not dishwasher safe. Due to the delicate gold encrusted band and metallic finish, we recommend hand washing with a mild detergent to preserve the integrity of the pattern.
This piece is not microwave or oven safe. The metallic accents will spark in the microwave, and the porcelain construction is not designed to withstand high heat from an oven.
The pattern features a sophisticated combination of a gold encrusted band paired with a bold black band. It offers a formal, geometric look that leans into a classic, mid-century luxury aesthetic.
Because this is a vintage collectible, treat it with extra care. Avoid stacking the saucers directly on top of one another to prevent scratching the gold rim, and store them in a dry, temperature-controlled environment.
Noritake porcelain is known for its high quality and durability. While it is robust enough for formal service, the intricate gold and black detailing requires careful handling to prevent fading or wear over time.
