ok Kewv,, lets use our noggin !! first,, color is wrong for something of that age !! in your bottom left pic the nails look old but at the top right, same pic there is what looks to be a perfect little round one !! if it had been coated later as you think,,what would the reason have been,, i mean its just a creamer,, no big deal and not worth that much,, same for the number on bottom that was done with an electric engraver,, why ?? nunmber is too big to have been for someones household items !! I think you have a fairly new one that was done with old methods and there are many of these from Czeckoslovakia and that area as well as France and Mexico !!
