What is the English word for the piece of carton, wood or plastic which is placed on the table under the cup? Usually, it is used in place of a saucer for large tea or coffee mugs. I’ve spent the last few minutes searching for it, but none of the online dictionaries helped. I also went through quite a lot of tableware, glassware, dishware, and other-ware, but hit a dead end in every direction.
If you know what I am talking about, please leave a comment. Thank you.
Update: the word is “coaster“, or “cup coaster“. Thanks, ma.

Leo,
They called “mats”, i.e beer mats for beer.
