Best Answer

The saucer has a raised center with a depression sized to fit a mating cup. The saucer is useful to protect surfaces from possible damage due to the heat of a cup, and to catch overflow, splashes, and drips from the cup, so protecting both table linen and the user sitting in a free standing chair who holds both cup and saucer. The saucer also provides a convenient place to place a damp Spoon, as might be used to stir the drink in the cup in order to mix sweeteners or creamers into Teaor Coffee. Not only are saucers used by humans, they are also used by animals, e.g. cats may drink or eat from saucers.
