Know before you buy
This saucer is specifically sized for a demitasse cup, which is a small cup typically used for serving espresso or Turkish coffee.
No, the Flying Cloud Rust collection was discontinued in 1993, making this a vintage piece that is no longer manufactured by Wedgwood.
Authentic Wedgwood china typically features a backstamp on the underside of the piece, which includes the brand name and often the pattern name or collection details.
The Flying Cloud Rust pattern is a distinct design within the collection. While it shares the same shape and quality standards as other Flying Cloud pieces, the rust-colored motif is unique to this specific variation.
While it is crafted with the high-quality standards expected of Wedgwood, its status as a discontinued vintage item suggests it is best handled with care. It can certainly be used for special occasions, though collectors often prefer to display such pieces to preserve their condition.
