SAUCER
ca: PLAT DE CAFÈ
es: PLATO DE CAFÉ
Saucer is the plate that goes beneath a cup. It has two purposes, one to hold the cup in place and the other to catch the liquid spilt from the cup. It can be thrown and made on a wheel or with a mold. The outer edges should slant slightly upwards to hold in the spilt liquid and the center should be lower than the wall and wide enough to take the foot of the cup, to prevent the cup from slipping. A saucer also has a foot to strengthen and steady it.
