It is a Redware creamer. It came from an old mansion on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, USA. An old note on the back reads, " This was in use by my great-grandmother (on the French side) prior to the year 1750 - A.D., with a signature that looks like "S  White ." He told me it was given to me by someone whose ancestors were Pilgrim Fathers (English Puritans who came to America). Although I have not been able to confirm the historical background and story behind this creamer's use, I believe it is such a profound piece. The appearance is beautiful, and the note on the back is also excellent. The cracks and peeling glaze on the body make it difficult to use daily, but I would like to sell it to someone who would love to use it.
