But I loved the unique subject matter - steelworkers shoveling coal - along with the colors and execution, surrounded by a ceramic diamond plate steel motif frame. I am unsure of what was used in the middle with the scene - but it appears to be ceramic as well. Minor wear throughout. Appears to be Terra Cotta clay showing through the white frame paint. Some minor chips, overall good vintage condition.
