Know before you buy
No, this piece is not dishwasher or microwave safe. Due to its age and delicate porcelain construction, we recommend hand washing only to preserve its condition.
This indicates the piece has been well-preserved for its age but may show minor, authentic signs of wear. You may notice slight variations in the shape or a wax seal stamp on the bottom, which are characteristic of its 19th-century origin.
Given the dimensions of approximately 7.2cm to 7.5cm in length, this saucer is quite compact. It is best suited for smaller, traditional teacups or as a decorative accent piece rather than a standard-sized modern mug.
Because this is an authentic antique, there are slight variations in size. Each saucer measures between 7.2cm and 7.5cm in length, 6cm and 6.2cm in width, and 1.2cm and 1.4cm in height.
Yes, the blue and white interlocking lotus pattern is a hallmark of traditional 19th-century Chinese porcelain craftsmanship. Each piece reflects the manual techniques used during that era.
