Description: | A cow creamer being milked by a milkmaid. The cow has its back legs tied together and is decorated with sponged on patches of underglaze black. The milkmaid wears a turquoise shirt and a yellow and white skirt. The squared off base has a band of turquoise around it, the top of the base decorated with turqoise half moons. The lid has been replaced at some point with an earlier one. Creamers came from the Netherlands in the middle of the 18th century. Milk or cream was poured into the body through a hole in the back, with a stopper inserted to keep out the dust. | Subjects: | Ceramics Animals Tableware | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
