This creamer was produced by the Schiffers manufactory in Warsaw at the end of the 19th century, illustrating craftsmanship typical of the transition from historicism to early Art Nouveau. Made of brass with a plated finish, it shows a warm golden hue with a subtle yellow undertone and a gentle satin gloss, especially pronounced on the body and interior. The exterior is adorned with hand-engraved floral motifs, while the central cartouche—shaped like an unfurled parchment—is left blank for a monogram or inscription. The handle, designed to resemble bundled twigs or bamboo, introduces a naturalistic accent that contrasts with the smooth surface of the vessel. The undulating, scalloped rim further emphasizes the organic silhouette, and the compact proportions—with a wide body tapering toward the base and a pronounced, flared spout—reflect both functional intent and comfort in use. The condition is good: minor surface rubbing and a natural patina are evident, consistent with authentic objects from this era, with no significant damage or repairs.This small creamer carries the story of late 19th-century tastes, as historicist forms drifted into the organic lines of Art Nouveau. The engraved leaves and wavy edges speak in the voice of an era that valued both refinement and natural inspiration. The stylized handle echoes the botanical themes popular in tableware at the time, while the empty cartouche invites a personal history, as if the creamer awaits its own monogram or a commemorative inscription.The Schiffers creamer may be paired with period porcelain or simple white tableware, where its golden sheen and engravings can quietly stand out. It would sit well on a classically set table, surrounded by a crystal decanter
