Offered is a vintage creamer with a matte red glaze over white ceramic porcelain by the Otagiri Mercantile Company of Japan. This piece is part of their Contempo Frost collection, offered in numerous crisp solid colored matte glaze finishes on white ceramic. It was part of their first foray into creating more Scandinavian/Mid 20th century home wares versus their original speckled Asian ceramics.
Measures 5" tip of spout to handle, 3.75" base diameter, 2.75" mouth diameter, 3.25" tall
