{"product_id":"rare-franklin-mint-belleek-style-cat-curio-cabinet-cats-c1990","title":"Rare Franklin Mint Belleek Style Cat | Curio Cabinet Cats c1990","description":"A beautiful and less frequently encountered Franklin Mint “Belleek Style” Cat, from the third series of the collectible Curio Cabinet Cats Collection, dating to approximately 1990.\n\nThis wonderfully characterful porcelain cat takes its inspiration from traditional Irish Belleek-style ceramics, with a creamy white glazed body, softly shaded fur, delicate pink ears and wonderfully expressive green eyes.\n\nPerhaps its loveliest feature is the trail of hand-painted-style green shamrock decoration running across the body, giving this little cat an unmistakably Irish-inspired character.\n\nThe sculpting is particularly charming, depicting a fluffy long-haired cat seated with its substantial tail curled around behind.\nThe underside bears the © TFM mark.\n\nMaker: The Franklin Mint\nCollection: Curio Cabinet Cats\nDesign: Belleek Style\nSeries: Third Series\nDate: circa 1990\nMaterial: Porcelain\nHeight: approximately 6.5–7 cm \/ around 2½–2¾ inches\nMark: © TFM\n\n\nPlease note that “Belleek Style” is the Franklin Mint design name. This piece was inspired by the appearance and decorative traditions associated with Irish Belleek porcelain; it was not manufactured by Belleek Pottery in Ireland.\n\n*Condition*\n\nIn excellent vintage condition.\n\nThe figurine has been carefully inspected and no chips, cracks, repairs or significant losses have been identified.\n\nThe delicate ears, paws and tail appear intact, while the green shamrock decoration, facial details and wonderful green eyes remain particularly well preserved.\n\nThere may be very minor signs of previous handling or display commensurate with age, but nothing which detracts from the overall appearance.\n\nPlease study all photographs carefully as they form an important part of the description and condition report.\n\n*A Note from FS Vintage Co.*\n\nAll of our items are genuine vintage or antique pieces and have been loved throughout their lifetime.
