Porcelain Floral Motif Saucer

This item is a Japanese-made porcelain saucer, likely part of a tea or coffee cup set. The saucer features a delicate floral and botanical motif on a white glazed base. The design includes light blue flowers, possibly forget-me-nots or similar small blossoms, with yellow centers, accompanied by slender, feathery leaves in shades of light blue-green and darker brown-grey. There are also delicate brown and grey sprigs with tiny buds or seeds, adding to the naturalistic feel. The pattern is symmetrically placed on two sides of the saucer. The saucer has a central indentation designed to cradle a cup, typical for saucers. The rim of the saucer appears to have a thin gold or silver gilded band, which shows some visible wear and tarnishing, indicating its age and use. The overall construction is fine porcelain, suggesting good craftsmanship despite the visible wear. The glaze is glossy, reflecting light. There are no visible chips or cracks on the main surface, but the wear on the metallic rim suggests normal aging. Given the 'Made in Japan' context and the style of the floral motif, it likely dates to the mid-20th century, possibly the post-war era when Japanese porcelain imports became more common.
