18th or early 19th antique porcelain small creamer or jug, with a hand-painted "Blue Onion Sprig" pattern, characterised by the under glazed blue with orange enamel floral design and lavish gold highlights.
The "Blue Onion" pattern, also known as Zwiebelmuster, was originally created in the 18th century by the Meissen porcelain manufacturer. The name is a misnomer, as the design's "onions" are actually pomegranates and peaches inspired by East Asian patterns.
Marked on the base with T.
A lovely item to display and a rare find for discerning collectors!
