Christmas Tableware Appraisal

Christmas-Themed Ceramic Creamer

This item is a ceramic creamer, featuring a festive Christmas holiday theme. Physically, it is a small, off-white or cream-colored pitcher with a traditional creamer shape, including a prominent pour spout, a rounded body that tapers slightly towards the base, and a C-shaped handle attached vertically. The body of the creamer is visually segmented by two horizontal raised bands, one near the rim and another around the mid-section. Below the upper band and above the lower band, there are subtle vertical ridges adding texture to the surface. The most distinguishing feature is the hand-painted or decal design encircling the lower half of the body between the mid-section band and the base. This design consists of repeating motifs of green holly leaves with vibrant red berries, characteristic of holiday decor. The base of the creamer has a slightly wider, footed design with a thin, dark green stripe just above the bottom edge. The interior appears to be uniform with the exterior color. The overall condition appears to be excellent, with no visible chips, cracks, or significant wear. The glaze appears consistent and unbroken, suggesting minimal use or careful handling. The item displays a clean, somewhat utilitarian yet decorative aesthetic, common in modern mass-produced ceramic tableware, likely intended for seasonal use. Its design suggests a manufacturing style from the late 20th century or early 21st century, focusing on festive home decor. The creamer is shown next to an opened cardboard box, which appears to be its original packaging, with 'CREAMER' visibly printed on its side, confirming the item's intended use.
