I should experiment on my own but don't want to risk the possibility of damaging furniture.<br /><br />Do you place the saucers on bare wood? If you put a hot cup of coffee, or a glass of iced tea in the saucer, doesn't that hurt the furniture underneath the saucer?sarahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8044541580633294348.post-44697263448326187922011-06-25T11:29:49.854-04:002011-06-25T11:29:49.854-04:00Would you say it was too crude for a cat to drink ...Would you say it was too crude for a cat to drink milk from?Gorilla Bananashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13044093013423635830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8044541580633294348.post-47804344482940016822011-06-25T05:46:10.789-04:002011-06-25T05:46:10.789-04:00I don't know nothing about saucers.

There being no left brained concentric, repetitive patterning in this dish, the effect here loosens and frees the mind, encouraging unstructured right brain activity. I love both orientations, but I'd bring this one out and stare into as into a flickering fire, for sorting through various passing conundrums of the day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8044541580633294348.post-85219908200629235812011-06-24T09:21:23.939-04:002011-06-24T09:21:23.939-04:00That is BEAUTIFUL!That is BEAUTIFUL!LPChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18209861350905135093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8044541580633294348.post-63954505936534513342011-06-24T09:13:35.892-04:002011-06-24T09:13:35.892-04:00The colors on this one are fantastic!The colors on this one are fantastic!Emmaleigh504https://www.blogger.com/profile/14500580959038472055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8044541580633294348.post-51191351998138596672011-06-24T08:24:30.344-04:002011-06-24T08:24:30.344-04:00Good morning, Reggie.

I love the liveliness of this one and have already buil, based on it, a softly-white paneled room with gilded moldings catching the light that gleams on orange silk damask, blue velours d'Utrecht and a rug that has all the colors in it (sparsely furnished, of course). Perhaps too much imagination for this early in the day but it is such a beautiful saucer!Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07652670896513329236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8044541580633294348.post-53421112837929627302011-06-24T08:05:42.318-04:002011-06-24T08:05:42.318-04:00Hello Reggie:

Too often in life people look but, alas, they do not see.<br /><br />This week's saucer we are well able to understand why it is a favourite. We admire its bold, pronounced design and, as you comment, the gilding adds a lustre which 'lifts' the entire pattern.Jane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647noreply@blogger.com
