Beautiful pair of Chinese Ceramic Cats. Blue with floral decoration and raised gold gilding.

Hollow.

Chinese marks to bottom but haven't managed to translate them but from other research would suggest these are early to mid 20th century.

Some minor surface wear and rubbing. The right ear of  the right cat has a pale patch to corner but is just where the paint was missed as is glazed over so definitely NOT a chip.

Some wear and dirt to bottoms.

Both stamped to the bottom with red Chinese character marks.

Please see all pictures

Approx 19cm (7.5") tall.
