Feldspathic stoneware may have hit a high point in this creamer. The profile of this piece and the fields of decoration are outlined in brilliant navy enamel. The main decorative element (repeated on both sides) is a field of orange peel ground containing elaborate arabesque settings (not unlike the architectural detail employed by the Adam brothers) around light blue ground medallions. One medallion features a John Flaxman putti (from "Four Seasons"); the other is unidentified. A horizontal border of laurel picked out in navy separates this primary decoration from a second orange peel field of floral buds at the base.
