What is an antonym of saucer?

There isn't a perfect antonym for "saucer" in the sense of a small, shallow dish, because it depends on the context.

Here are some possibilities, depending on what you're trying to say:

If you're talking about its shape:

* Bowl: A bowl is deeper and often wider than a saucer.

* Plate: A plate is larger and flatter than a saucer.

* Cup: While a cup is also a shallow vessel, it is usually meant for drinking, not holding a cup.

If you're talking about its function:

* Cup: This is the most common and direct antonym when discussing the function of holding a cup.

* Stand: A stand is something that supports something else, like a saucer does for a cup, but it might not be a dish.

If you're talking about the material it's made of:

* Plate: This is a more general term, but it can be used to contrast the shape of a saucer with a larger, flat dish made of a different material.

Ultimately, the best antonym for "saucer" depends on the specific context and what you're trying to convey.
