Devonware Black Chalkware Cat
Approximately - 14 1/4"
Seems to be a theme here today. Here is a black chalkware cat.. Cat is made in Canada by Devonware. Has nice jeweled eyes.
"Created in 1940, Devonware produced figurines, lamp bases, wall plaques and pottery that was sold across the country at large retailers like Eaton's and the Bay."
"Devonware was a division of Kahane of Canada Limited, a manufacturer of toiletries, creams and cosmetics."
"Devonware ceased production in 1967 and Kahane carried on until 1976."
Well...thats kinda of odd ...division of a toiletries company?
"Kahane was founded in 1940 by Abraham Kahane, a Romanian immigrant who came to Canada in 1909. With sons Maurice and Jack, they opened shop on McDermot Avenue."
nice on Dave....
should read nice one ...think my battery in the keyboard is going south on me ...'-))
Very cute! Do you think it may have originally had whiskers?
No I don't...the dimples are too shallow and not sure the chalkware would hold them. Good question though...I had to go look closer
