Saucer

A saucer is a type of small dishware. A saucer was used to denote a small plate or shallow bowl that supports a cup– usually one used to serve coffee or tea. The centre of the saucer often contains a depression or raised ring sized to fit a matching cup. The saucer is useful for protecting surfaces from possible damage due to the heat of a cup, and to catch overflow, splashes, and drips from the cup, thus protecting both table linen and the user sitting in a free-standing chair who holds both cup and saucer. The saucer also provides a convenient place for a wet spoon, as might be used to stir the drink in the cup in order to mix sweeteners or creamers into tea or coffee.
