Parrot Pearls Piggies To Market Theme Pins
Love these artisan-crafted ceramic pins by PARROT PEARLS, a San Francisco Bay area company no longer in operation. One pin depicts three pigs heading "To Market" in a riff on the nursery rhyme "To Market To Market To Buy a Fat Pig" or possibly the counting rhyme "This Little Piggy." I've included a second Parrot Pearls pig pin headed in the opposite direction (he is not an exact match, with pink polka dots instead of splotches, but he is very close and I think these look cute together). To Market pin measures 2 7/8" across; single pig measures 1 5/8" across. Excellent condition. - $60
