{"product_id":"rare-franklin-mint-famille-rose-cat-curio-cabinet-cats-vintage-figurine","title":"Rare Franklin Mint Famille Rose Cat | Curio Cabinet Cats Vintage Figurine","description":"A particularly beautiful and sought-after Franklin Mint “Famille Rose” Cat, from the collectible Curio Cabinet Cats Collection.\n\nThis wonderfully ornate little cat is one of the more elaborate designs from the collection, decorated in a striking palette of soft celadon\/mint green, blush pink and creamy ivory, lavishly embellished with floral decoration and rich gold-coloured detailing.\n\nThe cat stands proudly on four little paws, its body covered with delicate sprays of flowers and foliage in shades of pink, burgundy, turquoise and green. Decorative patterned bands encircle the body and legs, while the beautifully modelled curling tail sweeps across its back.\n\nThe stylised face is especially charming, with gilt-coloured eyes, brows and nose, pink detailing to the ears and tiny dotted decoration across the forehead.\nThe design takes its name from Famille Rose, the decorative tradition associated with Chinese porcelain and characterised by its beautiful palette of opaque pink and colourful enamels.\n\nThis is a genuine Franklin Mint Curio Cabinet Cats “Famille Rose” figurine; Replacements Ltd also catalogues the design at approximately 2¾ inches. \n\nThe underside is marked:\n© TFM\nfor The Franklin Mint.\n\nMaker: The Franklin Mint\nCollection: Curio Cabinet Cats\nDesign: Famille Rose\nDate: circa 1990\nMaterial: Decorated porcelain\/ceramic\nLength: approximately 8 cm \/ just over 3 inches\nMark: © TFM\n\nPlease note that “Famille Rose” is the Franklin Mint design name\/style represented by this figurine; this is a Franklin Mint collectible rather than an antique Chinese Famille Rose piece.\n\n*Condition*\n\nThis lovely figurine remains in very good displayable vintage condition overall, but there is one small area of age-related deterioration to the decorative finish which is important to note.\n\nThere is a small area of lifting\/peeling and loss to the applied transfer decoration on the narrow patterned band around the back of the neck\/body, as shown clearly in the close-up photograph.\n\nThe affected area is relatively small and does not significantly detract when the figurine is displayed. The underlying porcelain appears to remain intact, and I have not identified a chip to the ceramic itself in this area.\n\nThe remainder of the figurine presents beautifully, with its wonderful pastel colouring, floral decoration and gilt-coloured detailing remaining exceptionally attractive.\nNo obvious cracks or repairs have been identified.\n\nPlease study all photographs carefully, particularly the close-up photograph of the affected decorative band, as they form an important part of the description and condition report.\n\nPlease note-\nThis listing is for the Franklin Mint cat figurine only. The original presentation box, collector's leaflet\/card, display cabinet and any other original packaging or paperwork are not included.\n\n*A Note from FS Vintage Co.*\nAll of our items are genuine vintage or antique pieces and have been loved throughout their lifetime.
