Strangely Compelling, Finely Made Tiny Porcelain Ear of Corn bird and flower Just a beautiful very oldA funny one, I know but look at the care with with which this tiny ear of corn was crafted! I found it Concord, NH in a basket of other little odds and ends, and simply could not put it down; I think it is really quite amazing! Hand painted porcelain I believe, perhaps the perfect gift for one's favorite farmer, or corn on the cob gobbler! 1 5 8" long and in excellent condition.
