These cats, Ceramic, I believe, belong to my mother. They are about 18 inches tall, we're given to her by a friend of my grandparents when she was a girl, over 50 years ago. They only say "Italy" in what looks like handwriting on the bottom. Has anyone seen anything like these before? She would love to know anything about them.
Hey Treyros, I have two similar, but I think they're hand made, and marked K+D on the bottom. I think mine are newer, and shorter only 10".
I'll post them and give you a link. :^)
Here's a link to my funny cat figurines!

Tell me what you think! :^)
I've seen loads of these cats here in The Netherlands. They were quite popular in the mid-century (1940s-1960s), made for the tourist trade. The mark is generic, so no possibility of knowing who made them.
Welcome to CW Treyros, a lot of nice people here, ready to help if they can, and encourage, also! :^)
Good job Bonnie!
