Black & White Kitten Figurine

Clever, graceful and mischievous, cats have been beloved subjects of art throughout history in cultures around the world. This charming black and white kitten is hand-crafted from ceramics with a shiny glazed finish that highlights the skillful and tastefully executed hand-painting. It makes a beautiful addition to a desktop, mantel or accent shelf. The art of ceramic glazing was born somewhere around the Mediterranean, but this style of painting on a white opaque glaze became associated with the wares that the potters of the island of Majorca exported all over the world. In the 18th century, the craft came to the Russian town of Yaroslavl, where the clay is still of the highest quality and the artists - true masters of their craft. Finessed & delicate, these beautiful home accent pieces are truly one-of-a-kind gifts!
