The "Kent" creamer was designed by Walter Von Nessen. It was often sold with the Kent Sugar Bowl (92.12.32b). An excerpt from the 1941 Chase catalog states: "This modern couple will add a touch of brilliance to the table with their sparkling chromium finish. The design, while different, will always be in good taste, because of its simplicity.
