Creamer

Hugh Wishart

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a silver creamer by Hugh Wishart. The creamer is made of silver and has a handle on the left side. The handle is thin, curved, and attached to the body of the creamer. The spout is on the right side and curves downward. The body of the creamer is shaped like a teardrop, wider at the top than at the base. The top edge of the creamer has a decorative border of small raised dots. The base of the creamer is square with a decorative border of small raised dots. The creamer has a short, thick foot that tapers to a flat base. The background of the image is light gray. There is a slight shadow to the left of the creamer. The creamer appears to be sitting on a flat surface. The interior of the creamer appears to have gold plating.
