I didn't know exactly where this corn creamer belonged. Obviously the color doesn't fit the norm. Everything about the mold works except the height, the rim extends above the handle by 1/4". The bottom has the right stuff with the addition of the initials C W P. My first thought was an experimential piece or maybe something with a Terrace Ceramic origin. As you can see from the pictures, the rim in considerably heavier than production pieces. My cornware expert made the following observation.
In part - "Then I went to the Curran book. The initials CWP got me to wondering. Low and behold on page 29 - Clifford Pots, DIE MAKER - could he be the culprit? Wish we knew his middle initial! Just a hunch, but maybe it is truely Shawnee and was an early model. Let me know what you think." Jim
Below is a good comparison picture of 2 Terrace Ceramic creamers vs a Shawnee (top left). I've seen some of the Terrace pieces that had the word Shawnee literally scratched out.
While on the subject of corn creamers. Jim sent pictures of the corn creamer shown below. I have handled one like it, it is right in general appearance. But, it is very glossy, more like a porcelain than pottery in weight. If you know anything about this one - Let me know
Update & Correction - The above photos were taken a number of years ago in WV. Presently the creamer is in my collection. The latest photos are in the Oct 2019 Newsletter. While taking new pictures I discovered the initials C W H. I kinda threw Jim a nasty curve ball, his research was solid with the info I supplied. Sorry Jim.
