Etched Glass Creamer

This is a small, clear glass creamer or small pitcher, likely part of a tea or coffee set, or possibly a sugar and creamer set. It is made of transparent, colorless glass, consistent with soda-lime glass or possibly lead crystal, although without further testing, the exact composition is unclear. The vessel features an applied handle, which appears to be a single, C-shaped piece of glass attached to the body. The handle itself has some subtle facets or molding, indicating perhaps a pressed glass handle. The main body of the creamer is decorated with an etched or cut glass floral pattern, featuring a large central flower with radiating petals and a diamond-cut center, flanked by several leaves and smaller floral elements. This decorative technique suggests either acid etching or wheel cutting. The rim is smooth and slightly flared, with a distinct pouring spout on one side. The base is flat, providing stability. Based on the style of the floral etching and the overall form, this piece likely dates from the early to mid-20th century, possibly Art Deco or mid-century modern period, a common time for such decorative glassware. There are no visible chips, cracks, or significant damage, however, minor surface scratches or cloudiness commensurate with age and use would be expected, though not clearly discernible from the image. No distinct maker's marks or signatures are visible. The craftsmanship appears to be of good commercial quality, typical for mass-produced decorative glassware of its era.
