Cup plates are small decorative art glass coaster size collectible plates. They were originally used in the early 1800's when fashion decreed tea cups without handles. Hot tea was poured into saucers to cool, while the cup was placed on a small plate to prevent damage to fine linens or table tops. Today cup plates may be used to hold the tea bag, butter pats or mints at the dinner table. They look so pretty displayed on a windowsill with the light shining through. They make great gifts and since they have been made for so long there are hundreds or patterns and themes to choose from.
Measurements: 3.5" in diameter
