A set of indented tin saucers in prime condition. The saucers’ edges are slightly raised, curving very gently towards the middle, which has a round, deeper indentation to receive the teacup. The outer rim is in the shape of a stylized flower blossom with eight lobes of varying size, while a lianzhu decorative design runs around the upside’s central indentation, which is itself embellished with the auspicious Chinese character shou (longevity), also executed in the lianzhu style. The central part of the underside shows the characters “Shang Tian Tai” in bas-relief.
