Rocking the Baby While Grandma Knits Platter

This square ceramic with Clementine Hunter's artwork depicts the branie, which was a homemade cradle hanging from a tree limb, that allowed the baby to be safe away from animals and insects on the ground. Clementine Hunter lived and worked on Melrose Plantation, one of the largest cotton farms in Louisiana.

Each ceramic is hand-painterd and no two are exactly alike. Each piece has its own distinctive shape whose textured surface allows you to feel the passion in her work. With each piece purchased, a percentage of the proceeds will go toward preservation and interpretation of the Clementine Hunter House at Melrose Plantation, a National Historical Landmark.
