DescriptionGroup of four porcelain saucers with gilded decoration. Part of a large group of white and gold teawares made of a white ceramic, porcelain in most cases, with gilding as the only decoration. The group consists of one large teapot (.1a,b), one smaller teapot (.2a,b), two cream pitchers (.3 and .4), one slop bowl (.5), two teacups (.6 and .7), five teacup saucers (.8,-.12), four coffee cups (.13-.16), and four coffee cup saucers (.17-.20). The group continues with ten plates in three different sizes (.21-.30), five small plates (.31-.35), one saucer (.36), two compotes (.37-.38), three lidded dishes (.39a-c-.41a-c), one pitcher (.42), one dish (.43), and a lid (.44).
The deep, round saucers each have a slightly ribbed rim. Each has a band of gilding at the outside edge of the rim and in a small circle in the center of the saucer. All of the saucers have some wear to the gilding, although more so with the rim of .17 and the circle on .20 than with the others. One saucer, .17, also has a crack running along the center top surface.
