Sweet little vintage ceramic cat figurine with bright green eyes, black and caramel calico-style markings, and a bold orange bow. This piece has a charming mid-century look and a playful, wide-eyed expression that makes it a fun shelf sitter for cat lovers, Japan ceramics collectors, or anyone styling a whimsical vintage display.

CONDITION: GOOD (Poor-->Fair-->Good-->Very Good-->Excellent-->Mint): Good vintage condition with no chips noted. The tips of both ears have glaze skips/wear. There is a small dark nick or glaze miss on one rear side area, light surface wear from age, and some minor manufacturing irregularities typical of small vintage ceramic figures. Base opening is rough as made, and the red Japan mark is partially worn.
I aim to please, and describe every item to the best of my ability. But please note that my vintage items often received frequent use back in their day, so may show visible signs of wear and age. Personally, I wouldn't have it any other way, as I treasure those marks of the past.
