Product Description:
This vintage Staffordshire Blue Willow cow creamer is identical to the one used by contemporary ceramicist and printmaker Paul Scott in his work "Scott’s Cumbrian Blue(s), Cow in a Meadow After Damien Hirst (2014)". Scott, known for his reinterpretation of classic ceramics, bisected and repaired a similar creamer using the Japanese kintsugi technique, referencing Damien Hirst’s Mother and Child Divided. His work explores themes of art, restoration, and reinterpretation of traditional ceramics.
This creamer retains all the charm of the original 19th-century Blue Willow design, featuring a delicately applied transferware pastoral scene in rich cobalt blue. The cow’s hand-painted expressive face, the beautifully preserved blue willow pattern, and the vibrant grassy mound base make this a striking piece for collectors of traditional ceramics or those interested in contemporary ceramic art.
A rare opportunity to own a piece identical to one featured in a renowned contemporary artwork, this cow creamer is a perfect addition to a Blue Willow collection, a unique decorative piece, or a conversation starter for those who appreciate the intersection of art and history. It would make a stunning addition to a Blue Willow tea setting, standing out beautifully among traditional plates, teapots, and cups. Whether displayed on a dining table, a tea tray, or a collector's cabinet, its unique form and historical significance will surely draw admiration.
