<p>Here’s a Polish “Manufaktura w Bolestawcu” contribution to the Christmas cow collection. At least
Christmas was how it was advertised and I guess the garland and little stars are sort of
holiday-ish. Starting around 2014 these Polish cows became quite readily available in the US in a
wide range of decorations, along with a lot of other Polish ceramics. There are more on page 3 of Modern Variations, as well as in Places.</p></blockquote>
