Creamer 1876 - 1883

This cream pitcher, crafted by the American ceramicists Ott and Brewer, exemplifies the intricate artistry of late 19th-century decorative arts. The piece, dated 1876-1883, showcases a delicate floral design rendered in gold and silver against a white porcelain background. The handle is shaped like a stylized stem, seamlessly blending with the overall botanical motif. The pitcher's diminutive size, measuring just 4 1/4 x 2 5/8 inches, speaks to its intended use as a charming tabletop accessory. Today, the "Creamer" resides in the esteemed collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, offering a glimpse into the refined aesthetics of the era.
