Antique Handpainted Porcelain Creamer with Red Flowers
{HISTORY}
A beauty of a serving piece, this antique porcelain creamer features handpainted branches of blooming tomato-red flowers against a pale blue sky. Highlighted with gold detailing, a scalloped rim, and fluted embossing, this delicate scene is both vivacious and serene all at once.
Tall in stature at 4.5 " inches, this creamer will hold enough for sharing and also offers additional uses as a flower vase, watering can or holder for flatware, wooden spoons or other favorite cooking utensils.
Unmarked as to maker, manufacturer or painter, we may never know where this creamer originated but we do know that it is headed to a collector who loves a splash of color in her daily decor. It will be appreciated by anyone who has a touch of the artistic nature herself, knowing how easy it may seem to paint such a bouquet but all the while truly understanding the level of skill it actually takes to achieve such a flurry of petals and leaves, sticks and sky. It will head to a kitchen, to a caretaker who will adore it for another hundred years, sitting pride of place on a table or a tray as not only a functional piece of history but also a piece of someone's art, someone's heart from long ago.
