Hi, Is this a candle holder? It appears old? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Actually a saucer, missing the cup. But not just any saucer. Once for offering tea to family elders during weddings.

Would you happen to know the age of this saucer? Also any value to it without cup? Appreciate your quick response!

Here's a set with both the cup and saucer, which in this case is about five inches long. The cup originally would have had a lid.

Best regards,

Bill H.

Do you think this saucer is early 20th century piece?

I believe your saucer looks more like it's circa 1875, around the time of the Tongzhi-Guangxu transition.

Best regards,
