Heritage Craftsmanship Meets Modern Functionality
Burleigh’s Calico Espresso Saucer embodies 134 years of British ceramic mastery while offering practical elegance for contemporary lifestyles. Handcrafted at their historic Middleport factory using premium high-fire clay body that develops rich patina over time – not available in mass-produced alternatives

Authentic Artisan Design
Inspired by antique indigo textiles from India’s colonial era (circa 1870), this saucer features hand-painted scrolling jasmine motifs set against deep cobalt blues – a design language absent in standard commercial tableware

Smart Daily Use Features
• Thermal-resistant glaze withstands frequent microwave reheating
• Raised inner rim catches drips from espresso cups (sold separately)
• Stackable design saves cabinet space compared to flatter competitors
• Lead-free & cadmium-free food-safe certification

Legacy Quality Assurance
Every Calico piece undergoes 14 quality checks during its 36-hour production cycle – far exceeding industry standards of 6 checks over 24 hours typical for ceramic goods

Versatile Table Styling
Pairs seamlessly with both modern flatware and vintage cutlery due to its transitional floral pattern – unlike monochromatic saucers limited to specific decor themes

Burleigh’s artisanal approach ensures each saucer (measuring 4-3/8″ diameter) maintains consistent thickness – crucial for protecting fine china espresso cups from thermal shock damage common with thinner commercial saucers
