    Hi all,
    I have been pulling some things out of my hoard to start selling. I officially retired on June 1st and am starting to get rid of the hoard. or at least shrink it down.
    I was looking at this cup and saucer I have had for several years. When taking the pictures I noticed the saucer just doesn't look quite right. There is no indentation for the cup in the center. And it seems a lot deeper, more like a bowl shape than a saucer.
    Is this just my imagination, or is this not a saucer?

    I have some Regency-era (cups and) saucers don't have the indentation, and are a bit more bowl shaped than contemporary saucers, but yours isn't that old. Curious! And very pretty!

    This mark was first used In 1906, so pretty old.

    I meant that yours was not as old as regency era, 1811-1820. :)

    My grandfather liked his yea extremely hot and extremely strong. He sweetened it with condensed milk. If I was sitting there taking tiny, cautious sips, he'd bark "Saucer it boy! Saucer it!", which meant pour some into the deep, bowl-like saucer to cool more quickly.
