A charming Danbury Mint “Cats of Character” figurine titled “Good Night”, featuring a peacefully curled-up sleeping cat crafted in fine bone china. This miniature sculpture measures approximately 4 cm tall and 7 cm long, making it ideal for display cabinets, collectors’ shelves, or cat-themed curio arrangements.
The figurine is used but well-preserved, having been safely stored for some time. The glaze remains glossy, and the charming hand-painted features are crisp and expressive.
The Danbury Mint, established in 1969 in Connecticut, USA, is renowned worldwide for producing high-quality collectibles, including figurines, plates, jewellery, and commemorative pieces.
The “Cats of Character” range consists of 12 fine bone china figurines, each depicting a different mood or activity. These were produced with UK and European partnerships (hence the “London / Stuttgart / Norwalk” mark), and are prized today for their expressive sculpting and boutique production quality.
Your piece, “Good Night”, is one of the most popular in the series due to its serene pose and compact display size.
Danbury Mint cat figurines were sculpted with real feline models in mind — each pose was designed to capture an everyday moment of cat behaviour, making them especially appealing to collectors and pet lovers.
