Wessex House Antiques has been trading for over 30 years and has developed an enviable reputation for selling high quality genuine antiques at honest prices to buyers across the UK and internationally.
In 2005 I was invited to write the Shire Guide to Staffordshire Figures, recently reprinted, a signed copy of which will be included with the purchase of any Staffordshire or Prattware figure. Also available by special request from the author at £5.99, including postage.

Description
This very rare earthenware figure of a cat was made in Staffordshire. It has a treacle glazed coat to simulate a tortoiseshell cat and is modelled with separate front legs and seated on an oval base. The figure is very weighty and solid. Cats were not often modelled in this era because they were mostly considered working animals rather than pets so this unusually large model is a rare treat.
We welcome any questions or enquiries regarding the large earthenware cat. Please message us and we will be delighted to help.

condition
The figure is in generally very good condition, there is a very narrow stress crack along the cat's back where the mould was joined and firing has forced air through, and some rubbing to the back where the figure has been up against a wall. Please inspect the photographs closely to assess the condition and quality of this fascinating and impressive early representation of a cat.
