teacup and saucer
Beverage vessel set
A teacup and saucer is the matched set of a small cup for drinking tea and the shallow dish it rests on.
The saucer catches drips and provides a place for a spoon.
The phrase evokes traditional tea service and its associations with civility and delicacy: a tempest in a teacup and saucer.
