Product Details

A striking study in contrast, this vintage Trimont China saucer pairs a deep black ground with a softly hand-painted floral motif, where warm golden-yellow petals and delicate green leaves seem to float across the surface. The gently scalloped edge, finished with a fine gilt trim, lends an added note of refinement—an elegant detail that catches the light just so. Crafted in Occupied Japan, this piece reflects a unique period in ceramic history (circa 1945–1952), when fine porcelain was produced for export with an emphasis on hand-painted artistry and accessible luxury. The mark on the reverse—“Trimont China, Hand Painted, Made in Occupied Japan”—offers both historical context and collectible appeal. Perfect as a teacup saucer, a petite serving dish, or styled atop a stack of books or within a cabinet display, this piece brings depth and contrast to both traditional and collected interiors. Some wear on the clear finish, see photos.
