A handsome small lidded creamer by Reed & Barton, model 0230. The classic bulbous body, hinged domed lid with finial, and short spout give it that Colonial-Revival tavern look. It shows an honest aged pewter patina with interior wear, perfect for display on a coffee bar, shelf styling, or as a prop. Because the alloy/finish and age are unknown and there is visible interior wear, I recommend it for decorative use only.
Materials: Pewter/Britannia metal (unmarked alloy), hinged lid, cast handle
Style: Colonial Revival / Traditional; tavern & farmhouse décor
Theme: Americana, hearth & table, hotelware/barware prop
Age: Vintage, likely mid-20th century (c. 1930s–1950s)
Brand / Maker: Reed & Barton, stamped underside “REED & BARTON 0230”
Country of Origin: USA (Taunton, Massachusetts)
Size: approx. 5.5 in tall x 4 in wide (to outer handle/spout)
Condition: Good vintage condition with age-consistent wear: scattered surface marks and pitting, interior scratches and tarnish, small nicks, and finish wear; hinge sound and lid opens/closes properly. Cleaned but left with original patina.
Food Safe: Not recommended for food or drink use due to age, unknown pewter composition, and interior wear, best for display/prop/collecting.
