Clementine Hunter Cotton Picking Dinner Plate CH4100

Gitter Gallery is pleased to introduce Clementine Hunter's artwork on hand made dinnerware. They have selected four of her favorite subjects: Cotton Picking, Pecan Picking, A Day At Melrose Plantation, and The Cotton Mural. Each scene depicts what life was like in the rural south prior to mechanization coming to agriculture. Each 10 inch dinner plate is completely hand painted. No two pieces are exactly alike. Each piece has its own distinctive shape whose textured surface allows you to feel the passion in her work.

Clementine Hunter depicts the hard work of hand picking rows of cotton on Melrose Plantation in central Louisiana. Clementine Hunter's paintings are a visual history of singular events of plantation life. With each piece purchased, a percentage of the proceeds will go toward preservation and interpretation of the Clementine Hunter House at Melrose Plantation, a National Historical Landmark.
