Description
Nikko “Ming Tree” Saucers — a sophisticated and durable pairing of functional design and timeless patterning from Japan’s renowned Nikko ceramics. These mid-century saucers feature the stylized Ming Tree motif — a fusion of Chinese porcelain inspiration and Japanese execution — rendered in a deep cobalt blue against a white ground.
Used for teacups or small serving dishes, their aesthetic restraint and balance of composition made them a staple in mid-century homes across both Asia and the West. The “Double Phoenix” backstamp further enhances their historical value, marking their production during Nikko’s peak export years.
Collectible as standalone decor or as part of a full tea set, these saucers embody understated refinement with enduring global appeal
