Pressed Glass Creamer

This item is a clear pressed glass creamer featuring an intricate decorative pattern. The creamer has a classic pitcher-like shape with a scalloped or undulating rim and a small, sturdy handle. The body of the creamer is adorned with a complex geometric and floral design, characteristic of pressed glass from the late 19th or early 20th century. Notably, the central design on the side of the creamer appears to be a stylized flower, possibly a dandelion or starburst, with radiating petals and a stem. This central motif is flanked by pointed, elongated panels filled with cross-hatching and star patterns, demonstrating a high level of detail for pressed glass. The handle itself is also patterned, suggesting good craftsmanship. The material is clear, colorless glass, exhibiting characteristic brilliance and light refraction. There are no visible chips, cracks, or repairs from the provided images, indicating good overall condition, although a closer inspection for minor fleabites or cloudiness would be ideal. The manufacturing method is clearly pressed glass, evidenced by the sharpness of the molded patterns. This style of glass was popular and mass-produced, often mimicking more expensive cut glass. The item likely dates from the Edwardian or early 20th century period. Its small size indicates its use for serving cream or milk. The specific pattern might allow for identification of the manufacturer, but without clearer views of the base or knowledge of known patterns, this remains speculative. It represents a functional yet decorative piece of vintage tableware.
