Description
There is something quietly compelling about this tall ceramic cat. Slim, stylised, and finished entirely by hand, it belongs to a tradition of mid-century decorative figurines that valued character and craft over mass-produced uniformity. The black glaze ground is painted with delicate floral decoration, and the green eyes give it a watchful, understated presence that still reads beautifully on a shelf or mantlepiece today.
The elongated, almost sculptural form is typical of 1960s decorative ceramics — a period when figurative objects were designed to hold their own in modernist interiors without demanding attention. At 34 cm tall, this piece has genuine visual weight without being imposing.
