Item Details
Description
We are very pleased to present this likely 1910's matched pair of hand painted Nippon pedestal base creamer & covered sugar with splendid tea rose floral bands and lovely gilt highlights. We also have another Nippon lidded condensed milk can holder, also with beautiful floral's. Growing up as a child in the 1950's through 1970's, it wasn't uncommon in our home to find food items on the dinner table in their original containers. Whether it was jelly in the jar it was canned in or the peanut butter in the grocery store can... it would simply be set on the table. For the Victorians, this type of behavior would not have been tolerated. One of the food items that was not uncommon on the dinner table during Victorian times was condensed milk. And since the milk was purchased in a can, they had to find a decorative and practical serving dish for the food. Often the milk would not be consumed during a single meal so it would need to remain in the original container for storage. Hence, the condensed milk can holder was developed. The jar measures 5 x 4.25 x 5.5; the cream measures 5 x 3.5 x 4; and the sugar measures 6 x 4 x 5.5, with a total lot weight of 2# 7 oz.
