An on-line sale in Nov 2007 of a similar example realized £1,245, see auction description below:
“An extremely rare blue-printed cow creamer, c.1820. It is is 5.25″ tall, 6.5″ long and 2.5″ wide. If you are ever lucky enough to find a blue and white cow creamer, it will almost certainly be a Willow pattern example. However, this example is printed with a scene of birds and flowers and as such must be considered to be very rare indeed.”
