saucers
Small shallow dishes
Saucers are small shallow dishes designed to hold cups, catching drips and providing a resting place for spoons.
The shape—round, flat, slightly concave—gives us flying saucers, the classic UFO silhouette.
Wide eyes are sometimes described as big as saucers.
A saucer is also the singular form: She set the teacup back on its saucer.
