Ten White Handleless Restaurantware Creamers with Bands and Lines

Ten small restaurantware creamers brought together by their white ceramic bodies, handleless forms, and striped decoration in colored lines and bands. Differences in height and proportion are the point of the grouping: tall, slender profiles sit next to shorter, broader, or gently waisted ones, and the eye moves between them.

The striping itself carries both unity and variety — some pieces wear broad, contrasting bands in dark tones and brick red separated by strips of white ground, others carry only a delicate line circling the body or tracing the rim just above the pouring spout.

Ten variations on one restaurant-counter object, none of them rare on its own, together forming the kind of study that only exists once someone decides to actually look for the differences.
