Mountain Mary – JP3023

Description

Mountain Mary really lived. She loved a Hessian soldier who never returned. She is immortalized in both story, Fraktur painting, and silver figure for a necklace from a shop in Williamsburg, VA. The painting is on an old coffeepot that we found on an outing to antique shops. The reverse side has a beautiful fruit arrangement with a pear, strawberries, grapes and a peach.

This piece was an antique coffee pot found at an antique store. Many different styles and sizes can be found. The designs adapt easily to a variety of surfaces.
