Continental Silver Cow Creamers - Antique c.1880

This is a magnificent, fine and impressive pair of antique European cast silver cow creamers; an addition to our continental silverware collection These magnificent antique cast 13 löthige silver creamers have been realistically modelled in the form of a bull and a horned cow, each in the style of 18th century creamers. Each creamer is embellished with details reproducing the fine definition of the bull/cow's hide and facial features. The back of the each piece is fitted with a hinged shaped cover encompassed with floral decoration and surmounted with a finial modelled in the form of a fly/insect. The bull and cow's tails function as the creamer's handle. Creamers of this combination, incorporating both the cow and bull, are unusual and rare to the market. * 13 löthige/loth is the equivalent of .812.5 (812.5/1000).
