Creamer

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a dark-colored creamer by artist Louis Comfort Tiffany. The creamer is bulbous below, tapering towards the top with a fluted design running vertically along its body. A small, decorative appendage extends from the curve of the creamer's handle to its body. The handle features a decorative volute at its base. The spout is fluted with a wavy rim. The base is circular and flat. The creamer is shiny with reflected light.
