Unmarked late 1800s Schafer and Vater (Germany) cow creamer, a holstein cow in human clothes. I presume this is meant to poke fun at a particular person or literary character, but I couldn't recognize any resemblance to any historical figures I could think of. Still weirdly cute, like a toby mug crossed with a cow.

She's 5 1/2" tall overall, in poor condition. One ear is completely missing, she's cracked, repaired, and dusty. At almost 150 years old, it's not surprising!
