 "Pitcher"
shaped cream jugs appear from 1715-1745. They have a raised
body with a cast, applied foot and handle. The "tripod"
creamer came in the 1730’s with cast, applied feet and
handle. From 1760-1780 the body of the creamer became pear
shaped and in the 1770’s the circular foot returned with
a double-bellied body. The neo-classical helmet creamer was
in fashion until around 1805 when a flat-bottomed form was
briefly seen. With the rising popularity of Tea Services the
individual creamer fell out of fashion.
