Know before you buy
As a vintage piece from the 1950s, the creamer shows minor wear on both the gold trim and the hand-painted floral design. These signs of age are consistent with its history and do not detract from its overall charm.
The creamer measures approximately 4 inches across the top opening and stands 3 1/8 inches tall. It is a standard size suitable for serving cream or milk at a tea or coffee service.
Due to its age and the presence of delicate gold trim, we recommend hand washing this piece only. It is not suitable for microwave use, as the metallic accents can spark and the vintage porcelain may be sensitive to thermal shock.
This item is an original Meito porcelain piece manufactured in Japan during the 1950s. It features the signature 'Garland' pattern, which is characteristic of the brand's mid-century export style.
This creamer is crafted from fine porcelain, which typically offers a more delicate, refined feel compared to standard stoneware. It is lightweight and elegant, consistent with high-quality Japanese porcelain from that era.
