The cat sits upright and alert, with tall pointed ears and wide, round eyes that impart a quietly watchful expression. Its body is decorated with londi’s signature stamped motifs - rows of small circles tracing its outline, and star-like diamonds and flowers pressed into the clay across its flank. The glossy glaze pools darkly in the impressions and breaks to bright turquoise on the raised surfaces, so the pattern seems to glow. The cat sits on a lustrous black surface. Londi’s animals are amongst the most loved designs in bitossi’s history. The rimini decoration is most familiar in its classic blue, which makes this green example a rarer find for collectors. The piece is in good overall condition.
