Half Pint Glass Milk Carton Creamer by Fred

Temporarily unavailable
Sale price$29.00

Some pieces are useful, and some make you smile every time you reach for them. The Half Pint creamer manages both. Blown and moulded from clear glass into the shape of a miniature milk carton, it turns the small act of pouring cream into your coffee into something quietly cheerful.

It comes from Fred, the Rhode Island design studio known for well-made homewares with a sense of humour, and was designed by Liz Goulet Dubois. The pleated carton top and squared-off body are rendered in solid glass, so it has real weight in the hand rather than feeling like a novelty. Left out on the bench or a breakfast tray, it reads as a sculptural little object in its own right.

Beyond cream, it works as a small vase for a single stem, a vessel for propagating cuttings, a jug for maple syrup at a weekend breakfast, or a holder for dressing alongside a salad. Style it with the rest of your kitchen pieces, or set it on a tray with a small ceramic bowl and a folded linen napkin.

Why You’ll Love It

  • Solid blown and moulded glass, with genuine weight and clarity
  • A milk carton silhouette that makes an everyday object feel considered
  • Endlessly useful for cream, syrup, dressings, single stems or cuttings
  • Designed by Liz Goulet Dubois for Fred, a studio with a long track record in playful homewares
  • Small enough to leave out permanently without crowding a bench

Where It Lives Best

  • Beside the coffee machine, filled and ready for the morning
  • On a breakfast tray with toast, fruit and a small jug of syrup
  • On an open shelf holding a single sprig of greenery
  • As part of a brunch table setting, mixed with plain white ceramics and clear glassware
  • On a windowsill with a cutting rooting in water

Common Questions

Is it dishwasher safe?
No. Fred recommends hand washing only, which keeps the glass clear and free of clouding over time.

What can I use it for besides cream?
Plenty. It suits maple syrup, salad dressing, milk for a single coffee, a short-stemmed flower, or a cutting you are rooting in water.

Would it make a good gift?
It is one of the easier gifts to get right. It suits a housewarming, a coffee lover, a Secret Santa or a small thank you, and it pairs well with a bag of good beans or a pair of glass tumblers.

The Short of It

A clear glass creamer shaped like a miniature milk carton, designed by Liz Goulet Dubois for Fred.
