The image shows a black creamer by artist Louis Comfort Tiffany. The creamer has a short curved spout on the left and a single curved handle on the right. The body is bulbous with a slightly narrower base and a wide lip at the top. The glass is textured with a raised diamond pattern. The creamer is predominantly dark at the bottom and gradually lightens to clear at the top.
