A very rare amusing pottery figure of a smiling crouching cat with a nodding head. The glass eyed cat is decorated in the stylised Emile Galle fashion with flowers and a lace cap. The weighted head is modeled separately to the body and is suspended by a hook and pin at the neck. The cat is wearing a locket with the image of a dog which adds a further touch of humour to this charming piece.
