Description

Offensive throwback porcelain children's plate, depicting "Gathering Cotton." Raised letters of the alphabet around the edge of the plate, perfect for learning one's letters while listening to Uncle Cooter reminisce about "simpler times." Uncle Cooter likes his hooch, and swears he's getting that truck in the front yard up and running again. Great gift for your friend that has a porcelain-smashing fetish, or, that aspiring NFL owner* you're trying to get in good with. Or, you know, someone like Steve Buscemi's character in "Ghost World," who may or may not collect such things from more of a historical slant.
Note the crazing and tiny chips around the noon, four o'clock and eight o'clock positions. Measures approximately 5 1/2" in diameter.
*it seems like some of them really enjoy that term - "owner" - in ways they shouldn't. I mean, if they discovered a secret basement in say, *REDACTED*'s house, where practice team hopefuls are made to debase themselves in a manner consistent with 1800s plantation life, I don't think it would be shocking.
