Offered for your collecting enjoyment is this beautiful vintage majolica Siamese Cat figurine.
Marked simply with the numbers A870 on the bottom. I believe this to be Italian as it closely resembles the Siamese cat cleaning herself, see im86 in our store.
This lovely cat has such a look on her face, you can see why the Egyptians loved the Siamese cat. There is a legend that the reason many Siamese cats have a kink on the end of their tail is because "Once upon a time...there was a Princess who loved to swim. She went to her bathing pool every day along with her cat. She would put her rings on her Siamese cat's tail for safe keeping and her cat would bend its tail to keep the rings from falling off. I have a cat with a kinked tail and think of this legend often!
She is in excellent vintage condition with no chips or cracks! I did take a photo of a small manufacturing flaw on the shoulder blade where the glaze did not fully cover. She has some glaze crazing from age which is normal.
She measures 8.25 inches tall, 8 inches long and 3.5 inches at the widest part.
Add this gorgeous cat to your personal collection today or give as a fabulous vintage gift!
