The

dinnerware is popular for its handcrafted, rustic charm and its status as a highly sought-after discontinued collectible. Originally manufactured between 2000 and 2013, this line is a favorite for those looking to complete vintage sets or add a warm, "Tuscan farmhouse" aesthetic to their table.

Why This Set is Popular

Artisanal Quality: Each piece is hand-glazed and features visible brush strokes and organic, slightly irregular shapes, giving it a unique, handmade feel.
Dense Earthenware: Known for being heavy and durable, Sausalito pieces are designed for everyday use while maintaining a high-quality, substantial weight (a single plate can weigh over 2 lbs).
Vibrant "Amber Yellow" Hue: The glossy, warm yellow-gold finish is a signature of the collection, designed to be easily mixed and matched with other colors in the Sausalito line.
Collectibility: Since the pattern was retired in 2013, 3-piece sets like yours (2 saucers + 1 snack plate) are valuable to collectors looking for specific replacements or small "bread and butter" serving options.
Versatile Maintenance: Despite its "art pottery" look, the collection is dishwasher and microwave safe, making it practical for modern kitchens.
Size: Each is approximately 7.5" and could be used as 3 saucers or 3 snack plates.
