Creamer with Strawberry Design

The item is a small ceramic creamer or gravy boat, likely part of a tea set or a dinner service. Its base color is a creamy white with a glossy glaze. The rim of the creamer features a thin band of gold-colored trim. The handle appears to be a simple C-shape, also accented with a touch of gold near the point of attachment to the body. The body of the creamer is decorated with a transfer-applied or possibly hand-painted design featuring strawberries and leaves. The strawberries are depicted in shades of orange and red with visible seeds. The leaves are in shades of gray and green, with a hint of blue. The style of the decoration suggests a mid-20th century or later origin. There appear to be a couple of distinct strawberry clusters on the visible side. The pouring spout is slightly flared. The overall construction appears delicate, typical of porcelain or fine earthenware. There are no immediately visible chips or cracks, but the gold rim shows some signs of wear, which is standard for items of this type and age. The quality of craftsmanship seems moderate, consistent with mass-produced tableware rather than high-end porcelain. No manufacturer's marks or signatures are visible in the image.
