Description
This very rare earthenware figure of a cat was made in Staffordshire. It has a treacle glazed coat to simulate a tortoiseshell cat and is modelled with separate front legs and seated on an oval base. The figure is very weighty and solid. Cats were not often modelled in this era because they were mostly considered working animals rather than pets so this unusually large model is a rare treat. We welcome any questions or enquiries regarding the large earthenware cat. Please message us and we will be delighted to help.

condition
The figure is in generally very good condition, there is a very narrow stress crack along the cat's back where the mould was joined and firing has forced air through, and some rubbing to the back where the figure has been up against a wall. Please inspect the photographs closely to assess the condition and quality of this fascinating and impressive early representation of a cat.
