Porcelain Creamer Appraisal

Iridescent Floral and Gilt Porcelain Creamer

This item is a decorative creamer, likely part of a tea or coffee set, crafted from porcelain or fine ceramic. Its primary color is an iridescent white, often referred to as 'lusterware,' which gives off a subtle rainbow shimmer when reflecting light. The body of the creamer is adorned with an intricate, multi-colored floral pattern featuring green foliage, delicate pink or purple blossoms, and small black or dark brown outlines of branches and smaller flowers. This detailed botanical design is overlaid with extensive gold gilding, forming a filigree or scrolling pattern that complements the floral motifs. The handle and spout are prominently gold, with the handle exhibiting a classic, ornate scroll design. The creamer has a ribbed or fluted body, adding depth and texture to its form, and a small, circular footed base also accented with gold. The overall aesthetic suggests a mid-20th century European or Asian design, possibly from the Post-War era when such ornate, gilded ceramics were popular. There are no clearly visible manufacturing marks, signatures, or stamps in the provided images, which would require inspection of the base. The condition appears to be relatively good with no obvious chips, cracks, or significant loss of gilding, though some minor wear consistent with age and use (e.g., slight dulling of the luster or minor scratches) might be present upon closer inspection.
