creamer query

Since I've refurbished the china hutch, I keep an eye open when I'm at the thrift store for pretties to put inside. Today we found a little vintage creamer that I like and at the store it had the little lid taped on so I didn't notice this at first. But when I set it in the hutch I noticed that the lid sits a little wonky:
I was curious so I Googled it and found a listing on ebay with the identical creamer and no lid.

Are any of my readers knowledgeable about such things? I wonder if the lid had been mistakenly added to mine? I'm displaying it without the lid because the wonkiness is really obvious on the shelf at eye level. What do you think?
