Product description
This figurine depicts a recumbent cow, modeled in white faience with cobalt blue decoration. The horns, hooves, and tail are glazed in deep blue. Painted blue flowers adorn its flanks, framing a polychrome vignette depicting the Digoin canal bridge over the Loire, accompanied by the cursive inscription 'Digoin'. Digoin, a town in Saône-et-Loire, is known for its canal bridge spanning the Loire, a remarkable 19th-century structure. This type of white and blue faience animal figurine, produced as a regional souvenir from the 1950s to the 1970s, belongs to a tradition of French souvenir objects now sought after by collectors. The manufacturer is not definitively identified. The open base allows for use as a trinket dish or simply as a decorative figurine. Length approximately 14 cm, height approximately 8 cm. In very good condition, decoration intact, no chips or breaks.
