This creamer is Japanese Kutani porcelain decorated in a late Satsuma-style moriage and gilt enamel design. The floral motif appears to be kiku (chrysanthemum) daisies, a very common Japanese decorative theme symbolizing longevity and autumn beauty. The ornate turquoise, gold, and raised enamel border around the lid and shoulder is characteristic of export ware made in the Kutani/Kyoto tradition. The overall style is often described by collectors as Kutani moriage or Satsuma-style Kutani porcelain.

Based on the shape, bright white porcelain body, heavy gold decoration, and raised enamel work, this creamer was most likely made during the Taishō to early Shōwa period, approximately 1920–1940. Tea sets with similar moriage enamel decoration became especially popular export items during the 1920s and 1930s.

This piece is probably hand-painted export porcelain rather than earlier “Old Kutani” ware. Pieces like this were commonly produced for Western markets and are still collectible today, especially when the gilding and lid are intact.

The mark means "Kutani," written in red overglaze enamel. It is a Japanese porcelain mark associated with Kutani ware.

• 九 = “ku” meaning nine
• 谷 = “tani” meaning valley

Together, Kutani literally means “Nine Valleys.” This is one of the most common marks found on Japanese Kutani ceramics and usually identifies the style or origin of the ware rather than a specific individual manufacturer.

The hand-painted red script and brush style are typical of Kutani porcelain made for export during the late 19th to mid-20th century.
