Reed & Barton Antique Pewter Creamer

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.
