Post by: ironlord1963 on July 04, 2011, 10:00:03 AM

Looks to me to be a side-handled creamer.

This style was popular in the late 20's to early 40's for the general population.  It was originally designed for the butler/servant to pour easily around the seated patron.  For example vintage Homer Laughlin

The correct name is stick handle creamer.

Neat little do-dad , ironlord !

Could you give a rough idea of it's size ?
Did it have a lid/cap ?

In Misouri : known as a 'faincey ladle' or a lefty 'big-nose cup' ;
In Japan : known as a kyusu

     It is 4" Tall, and does not have a lid, and no signs of lid marks or lid rim.  I was just about to post it and was not sure what to call it.  I tried a couple of things but didn't seem to yield much results.  I will try the suggestion and see what they come up with.

Kyusu sure is close, but not quite, appears the Kyusu teapot has hollow handles, and this is a bit small too.

Wouldn't it be properly named in a McCoy book?

Hmmm, I just Googled it and a few examples immediately show up. All are called "McCoy Pottery Stick Handled Creamer". c.1945. This one on goantiques is $24. Description and where to find it in Huxford's 1980 McCoy book also. http://www.goantiques.com/detail,mccoy-pottery-stick,471250.html

There is one on eBay as a BIN for $16.49 plus $3.24 shpg. http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-McCoy-Pottery-Stick-Handled-Creamer-Green-Glaze-/250790378974

Haven`t hear that terminology from many except in the south. Hubby likes that word "edumacate" !!
I still have one of those somewhere but I thought it was a sauceboat of sorts !!

    Yea I need to get a McCoy book for sure, just pick up a dozen or so pieces of McCoy pottery, haven't dealt with it much before.  They say it is call stick handled Creamer in a book, well guess that is what it is called, was expecting a fancier name I guess, but I do like the "whotsit", but with my level of Culture sure is a lot of Whotsits on my table  :D   Thanks I think I got the leads I need.
