Description
A collection of ceramic figurines depicting cats and kittens in various poses. The group includes a large seated cat, a medium-sized cat with a tilted head and protruding pink tongue, and several smaller kittens. Each piece is constructed from glazed ceramic with a high-gloss finish. The decorative scheme consists of hand-painted black zebra-style stripes over a white ground, with the exception of one kitten featuring a mottled spotted pattern. All figures are characterised by large yellow eyes with vertical black pupils. This style is closely associated with mid-20th-century Italian export pottery, often distributed by companies such as Raymor. No manufacturer marks, signatures, or factory stamps are visible on the exterior surfaces of the items.
Large cat height: approx. 38cm.
Condition report:
The large cat is in generally good condition with minor surface scuffs and manufacturing glaze imperfections visible on the lower limbs and paws. The medium-sized cat shows evidence of a possible professional repair or restoration to the tip of the right ear. The kittens appear to be free from visible chips, cracks, or repairs. All items exhibit light surface wear consistent with age and display.
