Soft pink roses with wispy green — the Moss Rose pattern is one of those enduring designs that feels at home in almost any setting, and this saucer wears it beautifully.
The cup is long gone, but the saucer carries on with a brushed gold rim and the quiet confidence of a well-made thing. Fred Roberts Company of San Francisco was a mid-century importer known for bringing thoughtful Japanese porcelain to the American market, and pieces bearing their sticker — as this one does — are reliably worth finding. If you've broken your saucer and are hoping to match your teacup, this may be your happy find. Two other Fred Roberts saucers from the same era are also available in the shop.
Beautiful as a wall accent, an underplate for a candle or small planter, a ring dish, or a serving piece for lemon wedges at tea.
