A seated toy Staffordshire cat with tortoiseshell markings, together with a Staffordshire recumbent toy cat with brown markings, c.1830-50, tallest 4cm.
Cf. Dennis G.Rice Cats in English porcelain, colour plate 57.
Provenance: Dennis G.Rice collection
£100-150

Condition:
Taller cat slight grazes to each ear-tip, not easily seen; two very minor nicks to underside of footrim, hardly visible, one of which perhaps a firing defect. Smaller cat cushion base professionally restored at front right corner, necessitating re-gilding of the lining at that corner.
