ELZAC California Pottery Ceramic Cow Pin
Fantastic 1940's ceramic cow has a sleepy goofy expression. Unmarked Elzac, a California Pottery company that produced a number of these whimsical figural animal and people pins. This little gal has painted facial features and um, other features . . .and a tuft of fringed "hair" on top of head. 3" height.
