A creamer is a small pitcher with a handle and a spout for pouring milk or cream at the table. Many also work for syrup, sauces or dressings. The choice comes down to how much it holds, what it is made of and how the spout is shaped.
The six creamers below range from a 6 ounce two-pack to a 17 ounce porcelain jug. Sizes, materials and weights come from each product’s listing page. We have not used these pitchers ourselves. Claims about glazes, spouts and dishwasher use are the makers’ own.

Mistakes to Avoid
- Buying a large jug for single servings.
- Leaving milk in it for long periods.
