Wedgwood India Bone China Creamer
The exquisite India dinnerware pattern lends a quality of exoticism to an otherwise classically shaped and designed tableware collection. This 3-inch-tall creamer serves cream or milk with coffee or tea at more formal dining occasions. Its pristine white background is highlighted by an intricately painted floral border in hues of deep midnight blue, spicy orange, and earthy ochre, resembling the richness and beauty of Indian textiles. Edging in 22-karat gold along the spout, base, and handle infuses the piece with some of the more traditional Wedgwood detailing.As with many Wedgwood collections, this serveware is made of fine bone china, which gives this creamer a beautiful translucent sheen and makes it look quite thin and brittle. In spite of its delicate appearance, however, bone china is reinforced with 51-percent bone ash and is the strongest ceramic available. This modern-day china is safe for the oven and dishwasher at low temperatures although hand washing is recommended to preserve the precious metal work. This creamer is made in England with the same quality and care as earlier pieces from Wedgwood's 240 years of production and coordinates with a variety of other dinnerware pieces within the India collection.--Cristina Vaamonde
