Description

This wonderful little cat measures just 2&1/2" in height He is from The Rockingham Factory in England and would date to 1826 - 1830 as apparently this is the only time Rockingham made Animal Figurines. And he is almost how he came out the kiln, a near perfect example, with no need of decoration to cover any flaws, and this is the beauty of the unglazed bisque it figurine and that is why they are really quite rare. But he may have come out of the kiln perfectly but a long life of nearly 200 years has left some scars on him and that is with his ears both of which have suffered chips/nibbles as well as a repair to a front leg. His face, is just so lovely with the fineness of the impressed lines marking the features, the moulding of the under jaw so the upper jaw just slightly overhangs is perfect. And the modelling of the body of the cat as it sits on its tasselled square cushion would I think be identifiable to any cat owner, posed as if awaiting an Artist to acknowledge their beauty.

AGE - 1826 - 1830

CONDITION - As I have already mentioned about this little chap is not in perfect condition with the nibbles/chips to both his ears although it is much smaller and less noticeable in one ear, (which I hope you are able to see from the photos and the break and repair to his near front leg (best seen in the 9th photo), the repair is cleanly done, but is obviously noticeable. But otherwise I would say he is in wonderful condition with still a cleaness to the bisque porcelain.
