This vintage 1990s Mikasa Intaglio “Garden Harvest” (CAC29) snack plate features a built-in cup well designed to securely hold a teacup or coffee cup while serving dessert, pastries, or light luncheon fare. The decorative border showcases grapes, peaches, plums, and leafy vineyard vines in warm harvest tones against a soft ivory ground.
Crafted in durable stoneware and made in Malaysia, this piece was designed for oven-to-table presentation and everyday elegance. The cup indentation allows for balanced, one-hand serving — perfect for coffee and cake, afternoon tea, or hostess gatherings.
This is an authentic vintage piece from the 1990s, not a reproduction.
Beautifully preserved with no visible chips or cracks.
Snack plates with cup wells became popular in mid-century America and remained a staple through the 1980s and 1990s. They were especially loved for:
• Church socials
• Bridge clubs
• Holiday dessert tables
• Coffee & cake service
• Ladies’ luncheons
Mikasa’s Intaglio line blended European-inspired harvest motifs with modern practicality. The “Garden Harvest” pattern reflects the 1990s fascination with Tuscan kitchens, vineyard dining, and Old World abundance.
These plates were registry favorites and coordinated with full dinnerware sets, making them collectible today.
