Vintage 22K Gold Weeping Ceramic Creamer

A vintage ceramic creamer featuring a distinctive metallic 'weeping gold' or leaf-gold texture, commonly attributed to mid-century American potteries such as McCoy, United China and Glass (UCGC), or DeForest. The piece is characterized by its high-gloss, heavily textured gold exterior that mimics molten gold dripping or flowing over the vessel's surface. Physical dimensions appear to be approximately 3 to 4 inches in height. It features a bulbous body set on a squared pedestal base, a prominent pouring spout, and an integrated D-loop handle. The interior remains a smooth, glazed white ceramic, contrasting with the ornate exterior. The craftsmanship reflects the 1940s-1950s 'atomic' or 'Hollywood Regency' style, where gold-encrusted utility items were highly fashionable. Looking closely at the condition, there is visible 'crazing' or fine cracks in the gold finish, particularly along the bottom pedestal edge and the upper rim, which is typical for glazed ceramics of this age. Some minor gold loss is evident on the high points of the textured floral or leaf-like reliefs. No maker's mark is visible from this angle, but such pieces often bore stamps like 'Warranted 22K Gold' or a numeric mold mark on the base. The overall construction is sturdy earthenware with a heavy hand-dipped metallic glaze application.
