Well size of saucers

The well size of a saucer can be determined both by the total well diameter (gross) and by the actually available space (net) for articles to be placed on it. In order to determine a suitable (compatible) saucer for an article to be placed on it, we at Holst Porzellan work exclusively with the net well size. 

The net footprint is the area available for an article to be placed on it with dimension R (bottom ring). This excludes well edges, elevations and bevels. After extensive research, the following tolerance values for the compatibility of cup and saucer have been defined for the presentation in our range. Please note that these values are subject to a subjective perception and do not refer to a harmony between cup and saucer.

The values between "compatible" and "not compatible" are subject to the subjective perception of each observer and are shown as compatible in our presentation. Please ask for samples of the articles in case of doubt and consult our sales department. Many thanks.

Legal note on dimensional tolerances

Porcelain is a material that gets its shape and lustre from manual work and fire. Please note that, due to production-related fluctuations, the information may differ from the quality supplied. Exact inspection - e.g. using a digital measuring process - reveals that each piece of porcelain is unique, even if it is the same item from a series. These tolerances are even laid down in the German industrial standard DIN-66072. The dimensions and capacities of our goods have been determined to the best of our knowledge. However, the units stated are not to be understood as guaranteed characteristics and are therefore not legally binding. Due to production-related shrinkage tolerances, the information on the content of hollow bodies can usually deviate by up to 10% from the average content.

If exact dimensions and contents are important for an order, you should determine the dimensional accuracy of your specification yourself by sampling before ordering! The "overall wash-up dimension" indicates the wash-up basket requirement and refers to the total area (for cups including handle). The capacity is given in litres and is always "full to the brim", i.e. much more than the usual serving measure. Holst porcelain is suitable for use with food and is supplied with a legally valid declaration of conformity.
