What is a "saucer"?
A saucer is a small, shallow dish with a slight indentation in the center, typically used to hold a cup. Saucers are often made of ceramic, porcelain, glass, or metal, and they come in various sizes and designs to match different types of cups or mugs. The primary function of a saucer is to catch any drips or spills from the cup and to provide a stable base for the cup when it is placed down.
