Yes, Laburnum is a flower produced by the Laburnum tree (funny enough) and is a bright sunny Yellow in real life although this colouring on the saucer leans more towards a Mustard Yellow.
Opaque, which means if held to the light you cannot see the shadow of your fingers through the china
Design: patterned china but no decorations added other than an overall (top and underside) Mustard Yellow wash
No finishing touches such as Gold gilding is used on this saucer
Diameter: 147mm
BACKSTAMP:
COSMETIC CONDITION:

CLEAN
NO chips
NO cracks
NO discolouration to the base Mustard Yellow ironstone
NO wear showing to the Mustard Yellow "wash"
Yes, there are some usage scratches in the topside central area but none of these are of any significance.
Three small, non-coloured (meaning that no bacteria has gone to live in the ironstone!) fleabites noticed on the underside of the saucer
