Victorian Copper-Lustre Floral White Top Creamer

A charming petite copper-lustre cream jug featuring a bright hand-painted floral band on an ivory ground and a twisted “rope” handle. The mirror-like metallic glaze contrasts beautifully with the naive enamel flowers, making this a classic mid-19th-century English decorative piece that displays wonderfully on a shelf or with a group of lusterwares. Approx. 3 in wide and 4 in tall.
