Item: Vintage Ceramic Cat Figurine with Blue Bow

Style: Folk Art / Cottagecore
Material: Glazed ceramic

Design Details:
• Figure: The cat is seated upright in a classic pose, with a slightly rounded, primitive shape and a soulful, almost serious expression.
• Coloring:
• Body: Creamy white glaze with hand-painted brown accenting around the tail, paws, and ears to suggest texture and age.
• Face: Features hand-drawn whiskers, yellow nose, and wide, curious eyes with yellow and black detailing. The slightly asymmetrical painting adds to its vintage folk-art charm.
• Accessory: A bright cobalt blue bow tied at the neck adds a playful, decorative touch.
• Texture: Sculpted fur is indicated with light surface carving, giving the cat a slightly rustic and tactile appearance.

Condition Notes:
• Some intentional distressing or age toning is visible in the glaze—particularly on the ears and around the base—which adds to its vintage appeal.
• The base is unmarked, but the finish and style suggest mid-20th century, possibly American or European in origin.
• No major chips or cracks appear visible from the photos.

Styling Suggestions:
• Ideal for cottage-style, shabby chic, or eclectic vintage décor.
• Lovely on a bookshelf, entry console, or mixed in with other animal figurines for a whimsical collection.
• Could also be charming in a child’s room or a vintage-inspired kitchen shelf. See less
