This silver lustreware cream jug was used in the serving of coffee or tea. Lustreware is a type of pottery
or porcelain with a metallic glaze applied to it before firing. This process results in a luminous
appearance. The main purpose of silver lustreware was to imitate a solid silver object for those who could
not afford such an expensive material.
