Rare
German figural perfume / scent bottle in
the shape of a seated cat. It is painted
bright yellow, and there is a crown shaped
stopper on the top of the cat; it is silver
(or pewter) color with cork surrounding
the part that extends down into the bottle.
Cat, including crown, is approx 3 3/4 inches
tall. I find one small nick at the base
of the cat, on its left side, and under
magnification I can see some scratches in
the glaze on the back of the cat's head.
The bottom of the cat is unglazed, and has
the letter "K" on it. There are
some pin pricks in the glaze, but they appear
to be from the time it was made, because
the yellow glaze covers them. I have taken
photos under magnification in an attempt
to show you the exact condition. This is
an unusual and cute bottle, and I think
you'd be very pleased with it. It displays
very nicely.There is a photo of this bottle
on page 175 in the book "Perfume Cologne
& Scent Bottles" by Jacquelyne
