Vintage Pearl China Co. 22k Gold Creamer & Sugar Bowl Set

Maker: Pearl China Company (East Liverpool, Ohio, USA) Era: Circa 1940s – 1950s Pattern/Technique: Hand-Decorated 22 Karat Weeping Gold / Etched Fl A stunning piece of mid-century American ceramic history. This elegant creamer and matching double-handled sugar bowl set was produced by the renowned Pearl China Company in East Liverpool, Ohio, during the 1940s to 1950s. Pearl China was celebrated for its high-quality vitrified porcelain bodies overlaid with heavy, genuine gold treatments. This set showcases their iconic hand-applied Weeping Gold technique, where molten 22-karat gold was glaze-fired to create a rich, textured, shimmering surface. The design features a dramatic, flowing Aladdin-style silhouette with ornate, sweeping lines that capture the essence of Hollywood Regency glamor. Both pieces are further enhanced with hand-decorated, finely etched floral and scroll detailing that reflects the light beautifully. This set is in very good vintage display condition, retaining a bright, high-shine luster with minimal gilt rub or wear. For full transparency, there is a single flea bite surface nick right on the edge of the sugar bowl rim, which is highlighted with a pen in the close-up photos. This is an entirely superficial glaze nick that does not impact the structural integrity of the vitrified porcelain, and it is easily masked by the highly reflective, textured nature of the hand-applied gold finish. There are no hairline fractures, crazing, or repairs noted.
