Edgefield Pottery Collection 423 - Cream Riser

3D Model

A cream riser from the Edgefield Pottery Collection. A Cream Riser, also known as a Clabber Bowl, typically had a handle with gently sloping sides which formed an opening slightly larger than the base. The straight sides that slope up and out allowed the cream to separate from the milk. While the larger opening allowed the user to easily skim the cream off the top before transferring the cream to a churn to make butter.

The Edgefield Pottery Collection is a collection of historic vessels with a variety of shapes, sizes, forms, and uses. A jigger mold was used to quickly mass produce these Albany-Slipware style stackers and jugs. The vessels in the Edgefield Pottery Collection did not pass their quality inspection when they were made and were discarded into a ‘waster pile’. This jug was donated to the SCDNR Heritage Trust Program by Dr. Michael D. Fulford in 2022.
