There are decorative trays, and then there is a cowboy and his horse plummeting over a cliff while he yells, “Whoa-a-aa you son-of-a-bitch, Whoa-ho-o-o-a.”
This vintage ceramic novelty piece was imported by Schmid Bros., the American giftware company known for its extensive line of Japanese-made ceramics and decorative objects. The original Schmid Bros. foil label remains on the reverse.
Equal parts Western kitsch, mid-century novelty ware, and inexplicable ceramic masterpiece.
