Picked these up last week. All at the same sale & all for $5. Some newer but most of them are vintage Japan. I'm not sure about the last blue kitty, it seems to be a quality above most the cats I find.
No label or marks. I really dig the blue color. Thanks for looking.

CatsPerhaps no creature in the animal kingdom has inspired such extreme emotion…
So cute ! I love the Siamese cats I had some like them years ago and had forgot till i saw your beautiful ones . Do they have glass eyes ?
I would definitely say five bucks well spent! I believe you should put the big kitty with his paw up by your front door...I think he is suppose to bring in prosperity.
Well the glaze looks soft to the touch on that last pic! I agree it looks to be somewhat better! the 3rd pic one is just too cute!
So you have the best of the best... a flock of kitties, no litter box, or fur balls! :)
Purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

More kitties, Love them I only have one, if i have a chance i will post and let me know what you think. Thanks, vintagemad
very cute , i do love the kitties:)
Thanks for all the nice comments loves & likes. Ha Ha Bellin I bet the kitties love you as well:)
I love finding a whole collection of things that someone else loved and probably spent many years collecting.
I do too Bootson, but it kinda makes me feel bad at the same time. Like you said someone loved those items & it makes me think of all my stuff I love. Are my kids going to love my items when I go? Or are they going to throw them away/sell them? Guess it won't matter.
Pics 3 & 4 sorta look like mine. Only tag on mine is a Ben Franklin sticker for 1.77, LOL!

I know what you mean, my kids find very little of my "collection" of interest.
We should probably just get rid of it all.
Did I mention I kinda like the kitty on the far left? :)
What a lovely gathering of kittens!
Great collection vintagemad! I'll dig up a few more of mine & post!
