For your consideration is an exceptionally scarce, authentic early 19th-century English Staffordshire pottery figurine depicting a crouching tortoiseshell cat on a textured green grassy mound base. While antique Staffordshire spaniels and hounds are widely found, standalone felines from the Georgian and early Victorian eras are notably rare and highly prized by collectors.
Design & Craftsmanship: Glaze & Slip: Features classic underglaze hand-painted decoration with rich brown spongeware/brushstroke patterns over a cream body. The Base: The bottom reveals a completely unglazed, flat, coarse cream-colored clay base. It exhibits authentic signs of early production methods, including integrated kiln dirt, minor firing anomalies, and rustic flat-molded finishing with no modern replica hallmarks.
3.5" wide, 1 1/8” deep, 1 5/8” tall.
