Vintage St. Joseph's Hospital Silverplated Patient Dining Creamer or Teapot 8oz For Sale

For sale : a Vintage St. Joseph's Hospital Silver-plated Patient Dining Creamer or Teapot 8oz
It's a cute little pot standing 4.5" tall and with a capacity of 8 ounces. My guess is it was used as a creamer based on the size. But it might also have been used for tea or coffee.
The surface shows numerous little nicks and scratches, which is consistent with the use this item has had. It's still bright and shiny, with no areas where the plating has worn through.
