This orange brown floral ceramic creamer is a mid-century hand-painted pitcher with green foliage, a white glazed body, an angular handle, and gold trim.
The warm rust orange, brown, black, and green decoration gives it an easy place among collected vintage tableware, while the 5.5 inch height makes it useful for serving cream or simply adding one small floral piece to a shelf or kitchen display.

Collector's Notes
Warm orange and brown floral decoration was a familiar part of mid-century tableware, especially on pieces meant to brighten everyday serving sets.
This one suits someone building a mixed vintage tea table, adding a small floral pitcher to open shelving, or looking for a useful creamer with more personality than a plain white piece.
The strong contrast between the dark brown flowers, soft orange petals, green leaves, and white body makes the decoration especially noticeable without requiring a large display space.
It is a small piece with enough shape and color to stand comfortably on its own when it is not being used at the table.
