An antique set of five tin tea saucers from the Qing dynasty. The small saucers are fashioned in a horizontally elongated lobed‑flower form, worked from thin tin sheet by hammering, their rims given a gentle undulation.
Decoration is minimal, the form defined by the modulation of contours and planes. The tin’s surface sits in a subdued silver-gray, with fine scuffs, hammer marks, and areas of tarnish. It has not been heavily polished, retaining the muted sheen characteristic of aged tin.
There is a mark on the reverse. The set comprises five pieces of consistent form, but each shows slight distortion and waviness at the rim, revealing the malleable quality of hand-formed tin. The dimensions are well suited to pairing with small white-porcelain cups or sencha bowls.
As an older piece, it shows scuffs and some old scratches. The tin has darkened. There is no major or conspicuous damage. Please check the images to confirm the condition.
Numerous product photos are available for you to examine the details and condition. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
