Know before you buy
No, this saucer is not suitable for use in the dishwasher or microwave. We recommend hand washing it to preserve the integrity of the ceramic and the intricate blue and white pattern.
The saucer measures 6.5 inches in diameter, making it a standard size for most teacups and coffee cups.
These saucers are not designed to be stackable. Due to the embossed rim and specific shape, it is best to store them individually or with protective padding between pieces to prevent scratching.
While the earthenware is crafted for durability and strength, its heritage design and delicate finish make it equally well-suited for formal tea service or as a decorative accent in your home.
This listing is for the saucer only. It is part of the broader Spode Blue Italian collection, so you can easily find matching cups or other dinnerware pieces to complete your set.
