A wonderfully sweet and slightly eccentric handmade ceramic sculpture depicting a two cows entwined in an affectionate embrace. Hand-built and hand-painted in a simple black-and-white palette with soft details, the piece carries the unmistakable warmth of late 20th-century folk studio pottery — expressive rather than refined, deeply charming in its imperfections and individuality.
The sculptural form has an almost storybook quality: a sweet decorative object for cottagecore, country folk, eclectic, or farmhouse-inspired interiors — equally lovely on a shelf, nursery bookcase, kitchen hutch, or tucked among collections of outsider art and handmade ceramics.
Signed “ML LIMA, NY” to the underside, this appears to be the work of a small-scale hobbyist or local ceramic artist working in New York during the 1990s.
Condition: Excellent
Production Period: 1990s
Dimensions: 14 × 20 × 16cm
