Example Sentences
- "This cow-creamer, in case you’re interested, was a silver jug or pitcher or whatever you call it shaped, of all silly things, like a cow with an arching tail and a juvenile-delinquent expression on its face, a cow that looked as if it were planning, next time it was milked, to haul off and let the milkmaid have it in the lower ribs."
- "Other Whieldon wares include cottages (with figures) and cow-creamers – milkjugs modelled in the shape of cow, with the tail curved to form the handle, the mouth pierced for the spout, and a hole in the back for filling."
- "I put it together with the two cow-creamers (we call them creamers in the USA, here they’re called milkjugs, I know that, and it’s interesting that both terms have sexual connotations) and what I want to point out about them to you is that they vomit milk, which makes them fascinating cultural artefacts."
