Product Description
Artist: Meredith McCord
CowParade Houston 2001
Size: Extra Large, (15″ x 6″ x 10.5″)
This piece of American folk art features a collection of individual hand painted tea pots, cups and plates. Replicated in fine detail, each of the over 20 adornments is an independent work of art. Her ears are embellished with tea cup earrings to give her a feminine touch, while her udders, most cleverly, are her paint dispensers.
