This adorable Brown and cream colored miniature creamer. No chips or cracks, never been used. Stands 2 1/4" high, 3" wide to handle, 2" wide round.

Our exceptional early Mexican Anfora Heron is mold-made of clay and hand decorated in the traditional majolica style in brown over a creamy white background. The design includes a wide band of repeating swirls surrounding a center field with leaf-like swirls and a Heron standing in the center.

El Anfora, well known for their fine and highly collectible dinnerware pieces. The pottery was established in the 1920's and has produced dinnerware for restaurant and home use in a variety of patterns since the 1940's. It's our understanding that early pieces of this Puebla pattern have the Heron in the center which was replaced with a Bluebird in later production runs. Marked on the underside with the Anfora Urn Hallmark and 67 Hecho en Mexico Pintado a Mano.

Makes a wonderful addition to the table or collectors piece.
