This listing is for a vintage porcelain cafe saucer — a lovely example of French decor tableware. This features a light blue rim with the words "Au Papillon Bleu" and the classic "1.00f" (francs) marking, giving it that old-school French charm. In early 20th century Parisian cafe culture, waiters brought drinks on these saucers as a method to calculate your tab. (Documented in "A Moveable Feast" the memoir of Paris by Ernest Hemingway).
