Hello all. I have what might be a porcelain? cobalt blue and white cat approximately 12 inches tall that has been in my family for decades and is probably a pitcher as the head serves as a stopper. I have no idea where it was purchased, what it is worth (if anything), et cetera, and would be most appreciative if you would please take a look at the attachment. If anyone has any ideas on this I would love to hear from you. In advance, I appreciate your time and effort.
I have seen lots of pitchers of cats and dogs, elephants etc but not made of two different materials. I have a feeling your cat is all ceramic or glass or ceramic glass and its legs, ears and ribbon etc. is painted a different color. It looks like a pontil mark on bottom but not sure. Is there any seams? can you tell if ears or legs are attached. The handle might be attached after firing which is common. Iv’e have’nt seen anything that comes close to this. There is the possibilty that this could of been made in a art class or skilled worker or “home Made”. You’d be surprised what they can turn out.
