Victorian Vine Porcelain Tea Saucer
This item is a white ceramic or porcelain tea saucer from the 'Victorian Vine' pattern, likely part of a larger tea set as evidenced by the matching cups in the background. The piece is constructed from a creamy white vitreous material with a glossy glaze finish. Physically, it features a raised foot rim typical of tea saucers to provide stability. The most significant feature is the backstamp on the underside, which displays a stylized 'V' logo in a decorative brown square frame, accompanied by the text 'Victorian Vine' and the manufacturing detail 'Made in Indonesia Exclusively for MPD © 1994'. The date suggests a late 20th-century production, emulating a traditional Victorian style. The condition appears to be fair to good, though there is visible adhesive tape across the surface, which is often used in retail settings to keep sets together but may leave a sticky residue or damage the glaze if not removed carefully. No significant chips or cracks are immediately visible from the base view, but minor surface wear consistent with age and previous handling may be present. The craftsmanship reflects mass-produced commercial dinnerware from the 1990s rather than artisanal hand-thrown pottery.
