Description
A sitting proud 1970s-1980s studio pottery cat figurine, by Poole Pottery…
These Siamese-style cat figurines are beautiful and vary with glaze, size and left or right facing (like book ends). This fellow is the left hand one and is in the classic dusky teal blue/grey glaze. It’s like a dusky petrol blue colour. The glaze is smooth and glossy and fluid with blended brush strokes. He has blacker features/details and is stamped to the base with the Poole logo. The clay is a white fine clay like a porcelain. He would have been hand moulded then hand decorated – the maker’s marks are to the base (a painted L). I believe the range was designed by Barbara Linley-Adams and dates from 1970-1983 (ish).
16.3cm tall x 9cm x 5.5cm.
Very good condition with no chips to the ears or uppers. No crazing.
A small slither chip to the baseline underneath out of sight.
