Functioning as both a whimsical table accent and a conversation piece, this slip-cast porcelain vessel is shaped as a sitting calico kitten donning a sweet pink molded bow tie. Liquid pours inventively straight from the cat's open mouth. The piece shows spectacular attention to detail, from the expressive painted green eyes to the hand-brushed coloration on the ears and tail. While unsigned (typical of export novelty items from the Thuringia region during this era), its distinct mold patterns and craftsmanship stand as a definitive showcase of traditional German porcelain artistry. A fantastic, playful addition to a morning coffee bar, an eclectic curio cabinet, or a curation of antique kitchenware. I love the pink bowtie. See less
