Saucers, Salem China, North Star / Hop Scotch, Turquoise Starburst, Set of 4, Vintage USA 1960s

Turquoise and tan starbursts, thin geometric black lines, a cream-toned body — North Star is exactly what mid-century modern looks like when it's fully committed to its moment. Minor Irregularities, please see below.

• Maker: Salem China Company
• Pattern: North Star / Hop Scotch 
• Materials: Ceramic
• Origin: Salem, Ohio, USA
• Era: Vintage, 1960s
• Quantity: Set of 4
• Size: Approx. 6" diameter
• Condition: Good Vintage — minor pattern irregularities, some color dropout and slightly uneven lines, manufacturing variations rather than wear; no cracks, chips, or crazing. Priced accordingly. Please review photos closely before purchasing, as all sales are final.

These four saucers share the same spirit as our other North Star set but carry minor pattern irregularities — some color dropout and lines that aren't perfectly straight. If you need a full eight, we also carry a set of four in excellent condition.

Ideal as underplates for candles, oil bottles, or small planters where the top of the saucer won't be closely examined.

Salem China was founded in 1898 in Salem, Ohio, originally making durable hotel ware before expanding into creative, colorful household dinnerware.  In 1918, the company was bought by the Sebring family, kicking off its most successful era. During the 1930s, renowned designer Don Schreckengost introduced iconic, geometric Art Deco shapes like Tricorne and Streamline. Due to foreign competition, Salem China stopped manufacturing in 1967.  Today, its 500+ patterns and unique backstamp dating system make it a favorite for vintage collectors. Atomic-age patterns like North Star exemplify the optimism of mid-century design, and pieces in excellent, uncracked condition are genuinely sought after by MCM collectors today.
