Item Description
Red Ware Pottery is based on the traditional pottery created at Old Sturbridge Village. The design was inspired by the traditional earthenware materials of the early 19th century and showcases the folk-art motifs indicative of the traditional pottery craft. It is painted in traditional ochres, burnt sienna, and raw umber to mimic the red ware and glazes. This cow sculpture is a painted fiberglass hollow statue with a removable wood base.
