Description: Although the artist's forte is jewelry, the brief foray into dinnerware continued his unique "humor, whimsy and childhood nostalgia" as seen in the remainder of the Animal Crackers collection. In departing from the more common industry standard of 24 carat gold trim, Faget decided to accent the animals' ceramic base with hand painted sterling silver so as to tie directly to the jewelry line. Green "vines' on the pair of handles gives the three silver monkeys something to swing between!
