This unusual repair appears to have been crafted by a tinker, sometime in the 19th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I bought this, along with a mismatched tea bowl, from one of my favorite shops in London and was told by the owner &#8220;&#8230; we bought this little saucer yesterday with a lovely metal &#8216;plate&#8217; tinker repair and supporting bar, the bar is etched with little line decoration, I don\u2019t think I have ever seen a repair like this before, it does come with a bog standard riveted tea bowl, we would split them but the bloke we bought them from told me they had been together on his mother&#8217;s mantlepiece for at least 70 years, and I am a bit sentimental like that.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The last photo shows the tea bowl, which I will post at a later date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_0704.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14231\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_0704.jpg 400w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_0704-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_0704-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_0706-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14233\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_0706-1.jpg 400w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_0706-1-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_0706-1-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_0708.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14234\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_0708.jpg 400w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_0708-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_0708-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_0710.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14235\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_0710.jpg 400w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_0710-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_0710-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_0713.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14236\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_0713.jpg 400w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_0713-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_0713-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_1130-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15301\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_1130-1.jpeg 400w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_1130-1-150x150.jpeg 150w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_1130-1-300x300.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This attractive porcelain saucer was made in China, c.1765-1775, during the Qianlong Period.
