This Russian creamer from the mid-19th century was crafted in a Moscow silver-plating workshop, as indicated by the maker’s mark on its underside. The bulbous body, made of copper plated with silver, displays a harmonious silhouette with a rounded, low-set base and a wide, pronounced spout. The interior is evenly gilded, imparting a warm golden tone that contrasts with the cool, highly polished silver exterior. The rim features a raised, ornate floral motif typical of Russian neoclassicism, while the handle—shaped in an elegant upward curve—is made from natural animal bone in a creamy ivory shade with visible organic grain, attached with silver mounts. The construction shows meticulous metalwork and seamless joints. The creamer is preserved in very good condition: the surface remains smooth and glossy, free of dents or major scratches, the gilded interior is intact, and the bone handle exhibits only minor age-related discoloration.This vessel tells the story of Imperial Russia: its silvery surface reflects the coolness of northern salons, while the gilded interior suggests the opulence and glow of courtly feasts. The floral rim evokes a return to classical ideals, as the warm hue of the bone handle hints at the skilled hands of 19th-century artisans who lavished care even on everyday objects. Its shape—with the gently curved handle and pronounced pouring lip—conveys a sense of comfort and ritual, as if every morning at the table was meant to be an occasion.The creamer may be used as a decorative accent
