Creamer

Peter Young

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Creamer by Peter Young is a silver-colored metal object with a handle on the left side. The object has a wide lip at the top and a narrow base. It has a curved spout-like opening and a wavy handle that is attached to the body on the left side. The body is bulbous with a slight indentation near the bottom. There is a thin line encircling the body near the bottom. The object has three legs, each with a decorative design at the top. The legs are shaped like feet with a decorative element on each. The object appears to have a worn, aged appearance with darker spots and discoloration on its surface.
