The embers simulate the surrounding heat of an oven to braise food for hours in a gentle cooking process. Today, daubieres have been replaced with cast iron Dutch ovens and braisers, which serve a similar function.

The Chuck Williams Culinary Arts Museum, located at The Culinary Institute of America at Copia, in Napa, CA, houses more than 4,000 culinary artifacts from the Williams Sonoma founder’s personal collection. The exhibit includes a variety of porcelain cow creamers dating from the 1870s through the 1970s. The collection’s early examples of cow creamers are quite realistic, depicting lifelike cows with intricate, hand-painted features. During the Victorian era, cow creamers took on a more quirky aesthetic, with exaggerated expressions or humorous poses. In the 1900s, a more modern aesthetic took hold, as we can see in the museum’s simple white Apilco cow creamer. Chuck Williams discovered this cow creamer during a trip to France in 1960, and began selling them in his Williams Sonoma store to great success. In fact, he is credited with starting a white cow creamer fad across the United States.
