Coffee Creamer Appraisal

Queen Anne Bone China Creamer

This item is identified as a creamer, likely part of a tea or coffee set, crafted from white bone china. The creamer exhibits a classic, slightly bulbous body with a delicate handle. Its primary decorative motif consists of an elegant pattern of golden and dark brown or black foliage, possibly leaves and branches, applied around the upper circumference of the body. The handle and rim also feature a thin gold band, indicating a higher level of finish. The base of the creamer has a raised foot ring, also accented with a thin gold line. The underside of the base clearly displays a maker's mark: a crown symbol above the words "Queen Anne" in a script font, followed by "BONE CHINA" and "ENGLAND." This mark identifies the manufacturer as Queen Anne and confirms the material and country of origin. The piece appears to be in good overall condition with no visible chips, cracks, or significant crazing, though there might be some minor wear to the gold accents consistent with age and use. The craftsmanship suggests a commercially produced item, likely dating from the mid-20th century given the style and common usage of 'bone china' stamps from that period. The lustrous finish of the bone china speaks to its quality, and the sophisticated, somewhat ornate decoration points to a desire for aesthetic appeal in tableware.
