Edwin Campbell Catawba Pottery Butter Churn

This is a wonderful example of Edwin Campbell's work in miniatures. This is a Catawba Pottery Butter Churn. What is really amazing is this Butter Churn is only 1 1/2 inches tall. It is rubbed as smooth as most normal size pieces. It's remarkable he even made the lid and the wooden paddle. Tom Blumer is trying to get Edwin to start making more pieces so the rest of the collectors can see this unbelievable work of art. Tom Blumer told me that Edwin is the only Catawba Indian he knows that has made miniatures.
