Mid-Century 1950s–1960s Chrome Mini Oil Pitcher/Milk Creamer (no lid) or Watering Can – Industrial Style –

This sleek and reflective vintage chrome pitcher brings utilitarian style with a modern edge. Whether once used to hold oil, cream, or water, its compact size and clean industrial lines make it a unique addition to farmhouse or minimalist decor. Featuring a fixed handle and angled spout, the piece measures approximately 4.5” tall and weighs 2.4 oz. Its minimalist chrome surface reflects light beautifully and pairs well with other metallic kitchenware, making it a standout accent for shelving, tabletop styling, or even repurposed as a bud vase.

Chrome-plated kitchen tools and tabletop accessories rose to popularity in the 1950s and 60s as households embraced modern industrial aesthetics. Sleek finishes, easy cleaning, and reflective surfaces were hallmarks of this postwar design wave. Small pitchers like this one may have served as individual creamers or oil cans for stoves, and their durable construction made them common in diners and workspaces alike. Today, their clean lines and retro simplicity appeal to lovers of both farmhouse and industrial styles.
