Description
A quietly charming object with a lot of personality, this ceramic cat figurine was designed by Swedish artist Goran Andersson in 1962, model number 9002. Crafted in warm brown earthenware, it carries the rounded, expressive sculptural character that defines the best of mid-century Scandinavian studio pottery — unhurried, handcrafted, and built to be looked at.
Small enough to sit comfortably on a windowsill or shelf, this little cat holds its own with ease. It works naturally within Scandinavian, rustic, and mid-century interiors, and fits equally well into a focused pottery collection or alongside other vintage ceramic animals.
