Date:1810 - 1835 (c.)
Description:In the mid 18th century drinking tea, coffee and chocolate became fashionable. A novelty cream jug in the shape of a cow became popular, so much so that many 19th century examples like ours have survived. The cows were hollow and filled via an opening on their back, the mouth was a spout and the tail a handle. Cow creamers were difficult to clean inside due to their shape. Bacteria from cream lingering inside of cow jugs was a cause of food poisoning.
