Made in traditional chalkware, or moulded plaster, it has been decorated in a wonderfully warm folk-art style.\n\nThe plump seated tabby has a mottled golden-orange coat decorated with bold black stripes, expressive painted eyes and a black curled tail. A deep red collar with decorative pendant completes his rather splendid appearance.\n\nThe underside retains its original circular label reading:\n© 1986 THE FRANKLIN MINT\n\nThis particular design is known as the Chalkware Cat, celebrating the tradition of decorative moulded and painted plaster figures.\n\nA cheerful little vintage collectible, ideal for an existing Franklin Mint Curio Cabinet Cats collection — or simply for somebody who finds his wonderfully round tabby expression impossible to resist.\n\nMaker: The Franklin Mint\nCollection: Curio Cabinet Cats\nDesign: Chalkware\nDate: 1986\nMaterial: Chalkware \/ moulded plaster\nColour: Golden orange, black and red\nMark: Original ©1986 The Franklin Mint label\nApproximate length: 8.5 cm \/ 3⅜ inches\nPlease refer to the measurement photograph for scale.\nCondition\n\n*Condition*\nIn really good overall condition.\nI can see some very minor surface\/age marks.\n\nNo significant chips, cracks, losses or repairs have been identified.\n\nThe original Franklin Mint label remains present underneath.\n\nPlease examine 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.
