Cow black and white named "Marguerite"

Marguerite, Blanchette, Violette… On the farms of old, every cow had its name, and was called by it for the evening milking. Santon makers wanted to keep this almost family-like bond between peasants and their animals in the Nativity scene, where farm animals accompany the villagers to the stable.

Our Marguerite cow with a black and white coat, in 4 cm, suits medium-sized Nativity scenes set on a chest of drawers or a mantelpiece. Its contrasting coat can be spotted from afar and livens up a meadow or a farmyard. It also comes in brown and white, so you can vary a small herd.

Like the entire Fouque collection, it is born in our Aix-en-Provence workshop: a model sculpted by hand, pressing in clay, touch-ups, slow drying, then gradual firing up to 960 °C. The black and white are applied with a brush, with a matte paint that does not fade.

Our workshop, a certified Living Heritage Company (Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant), displays its animals in the shop on cours Gambetta and at our exhibitions. Each piece is individually wrapped, in paper and then bubble wrap; your parcel ships within 2 to 3 business days.
