Charming antique German figural porcelain creamer / milk jug featuring a sweet and unusual scene of a young girl in a bonnet and apron feeding a white cat from a bowl.
The piece has a distinctive brown textured body with raised relief detailing, along with a side handle and pouring spout. The whimsical figural design is characteristic of early German novelty ceramics.
There is a crown maker’s mark on the underside, although the remainder of the impressed/printed marking has worn away with age. Because the mark is incomplete, the maker is being listed as unidentified / attributed style rather than definitively identified.
