I used to not like it at all and found it kind of ugly. I’ve warmed up to it a tad and see the beauty of good pieces now. Found this little creamer in an attic or something in last minutes of a sale. I don’t really think it’s anything too nice but I’m wondering how old it is? I’m guessing it’s not newer than the 30s/40s but possibly a bit older than that? I liked the paint and pattern more than many I see and got it for what amounted to under $1 I’m sure. Little test run if you will. So how off am I on the age?
    There is a large seam on the front. Is that typical? Guessing a high quality piece wouldn’t have that?

    Wait for others but I'm not sure this is majolica. Looks more like a blended glaze to me. I would have expected a different color in the interior.

    As blooey says. Late 19th century. Not a good maker - sorry.
