Lovely small pitcher or creamer with a central multi-colored transfer graphic of a large waterfall with two boats near it. While it is not labelled to be a scenic souvenir china piece from Niagra Falls, that is what we believe this to be due to the size of the falls shown (which look like the American side or American Falls of Niagra Falls in New York State), the two boats in front of the falls (like the boats which tour near Niagra Falls such as the Maid of the Mist), and the "Made in Germany" marking on the underside base. Many old souvenir pieces from places like Niagra Falls had this kind of marking and were imported from European manufacturers. Surrounding the central waterfall graphic is an ornate design in gold paint, with this also repeated near the top rim, with a gold design on the backside and gold line trim on the top rim and at the topside of the handle. We do not know the age of this piece, but from the Made in Germany marking and piece style, we are guessing it dates back to the 1920s-1940s period pre-World War II.

Measures about 3 1/4 inches in height, 3 1/2 inches in width and 2 1/4 inches in depth or the diameter of the round base. The base material for this piece is a white china or porcelain (this piece is translucent). We've provided 6 images including close-ups of the graphic and the country of origin marking. Please note that the white "hot spots" are lighting reflections from the camera on the glossy surface, and that this lighting "blands out" the piece a bit...the coloring looks richer, darker, more attractive in person than in the images. There is also an impressed number 3 on the underside base.

Wonderful overall condition with no chips, cracks or crazing. There are minor age/wear flaws so this piece is not mint, but nothing major that detracts from its great appearance. There is some wear to the gold line trim and design areas (nothing really bad, but it is there), pin/pit/dark dots/transfer dots made in manufacture, some slight surface scratches (nothing bad here), a stray curved blue line under the front graphic area (this could be pen ink that might be removable we don't know, but are selling this as is/as found), a small circular brown spot on the interior base with a few other dark tiny dots (otherwide the inside is clean, this doesn't look like it was used for serving anything), other slight general age/wear, a little bit of wear to the underside base rim on which the piece sits (which supports age).

A neat piece to add to a collection of souvenir pieces or memorabilia related to Niagra Falls, NY or waterfalls in general. Also a nice piece to add to any collection relating to waterfalls of any type or a small general creamer collection.
