Antique French Hand-Painted Cat Sculpture ~ Wall Flower Bud Vase

Antique French Hand-Painted Cat Sculpture ~ Wall Flower Bud Vase is yet another example of the whimsical yet stunning artistry for which the Rouen region has become known over the past several centuries!  Cast in earthenware into the shape of a stalking cat, then luxuriously hand-painted with traditional cobalt blue, olive green, mustard yellow and dusty reds, it can be laid flat on a surface as a purely decorative item, but it is also designed to hang on the wall to display a fresh cut flower or two, to brighten up the room even more than the smiles the comical cat will produce!
Circa early 1900s
Measures 12H x 5.5W x 4D
