White Ceramic Handled Saucer

The item is a white ceramic or porcelain saucer, possibly part of a larger tea or coffee set, distinguished by an integrated handle. The top side, not fully visible, appears to be deeply recessed forming a bowl-like shape. The underside, which is clearly depicted, is a glossy white glaze with a visible unglazed footrim, revealing the natural light brown or beige color of the ceramic body beneath. The footrim is circular and slightly raised, typical for ceramic ware to prevent scratching surfaces and provide stability. A notable feature is the handwritten marking in black on the unglazed center of the base, which reads "R-H 21010". This marking could represent a maker's initial (R-H) and a model or production number (21010), suggesting it is either a manufacturer's mark, an artist's signature for a handmade piece, or a production code. The handle extends gracefully from one side of the circular dish, designed to be held by the user. Its construction seems seamless with the main body of the dish, indicating a single-piece mold or carefully joined elements. The overall aesthetic suggests functionality with a clean, minimalist design, characteristic of modern or mid-20th century ceramics. There are no visible chips, cracks, or significant wear on the glazed surface or the footrim, indicating good condition, though the full extent of the item's surface and any potential design elements on the top are not ascertainable from this image alone. The quality appears good, with consistent glazing and a neat finish. The item's primary purpose is likely holding a cup or bowl, given its saucer-like form and handle.
