Red Norvo (1908-1999), nicknamed "Mr. Swing," was known for his impeccable rhythm and ahead-of-his-time innovation on mallet instruments. He is credited with bringing the xylophone, typically considered a vaudeville instrument at the time, into jazz. Norvo was a sideman with Paul Whiteman, Benny Goodman and Woody Herman, led one of the most admired bands of the swing era and toured with Frank Sinatra.

The teapot is not completely covered as seen in her later works, instead she adhered "paper dolls" to the surface of the piece. <br /><br /> The imagery and words were inspired by the traditional folk song "Animal Fair", a song sung by minstrels and sailors as early as 1889. It is now a beloved children's song and has been recorded for numerous popular children's tv shows. Though the lyrics of the song have gone through changes over the years, the 1989 version of the song has the following lyrics:<br /><br /> I went to the animal fair, The birds and the beasts were there; The little raccoon by the light of the moon Was combing his auburn hair. The monkey he got drunk, And sat on the elephant's trunk, The elephant sneezed and went down on his knees And what became of the monkey?
