As we saw in our previous post, the Republican elephant has had significant representation in majolica. Now it's time to look at the Democratic donkey.
As the humble creatures they are, donkeys are almost always represented in majolica for the utilitarian use they have to mankind. Not very grand but still proud in their simple dignity, donkeys are our beasts of burden. No company has been more conscious of them than the frėres Massier, who have done a number of donkeys in majolica.
Minton, George Jones and other English and European companies made donkey majolica as well though not as many as made elephant majolica.
So concludes our look at the symbols of the two major American parties. Like the political parties they represent, they offer distinctly different personalities in their majolica incarnations.You make the choice of which appeals to you.
