Wonderful Old Red Cat Wooden Cutout (Missing Hook Feet) deco vase 5 1/16" across at ferrule

5 1/16" across at ferrule

I found these a bit tarnished but they polished up with no effort at all

though I have not seen another with only homespun fabric

perhaps Chinese inspired but a one of a kind thing

while placing the far fingers in the hands

Wonderful Old Red Cat Wooden Cutout (Missing Hook Feet) deco vase 5 1/16" across at ferruleQuite an old kitty, and one that looks to have once had hooks at its paws, probably to hold a potholder or two. New ones could certainly be added, but I'm pretty partial to this red cat just as it is. Great old painted surface, very sweet. 7" t x 4 7 8" w x 3 16" d and apart the missing hooks in very good condition with a great patina. At some point more recently an eye hook was added to the top for hanging.
