Takahashi Porcelain Playing Cat Figurine Hand-decorated with Butterflies
About the Item
Rare porcelain figurine of a playing cat is hand decorated with butterflies and leaves designs and gold accents. It is unusual to find a playing cat figurine; most Takahashi cats are depicted sleeping with their heads on their paws, tails folded over their legs, and their eyes closed. This cat, however, is ready to pounce, its tail is waving, and its eyes are wide open. The cat has its distinct molded collar that is decorated in red and gold.
The Cat is missing its sticker, but can be identified by online catalogues and other references.
