Plaster Slab of Bacon! Hand-painted Vintage Butcher's Display Piece tanks enamel dutch ovens as with the two "captive"Funny how a series of wavy painted lines and dabs in just the right red transform a plaster slab into what could only be taken for bacon and there's just something about bacon. To eye rather a beautiful object too, which I believe was made for butcher shop display, c. 1940s or so. 7 1 2" x 2 7 8" and in great condition. With a partial stamp on reverse, with Cincinatti, Ohio readable.
