Mid Century Modern Ceramic Cat Sculpture Jar With Cork Stopper

Description

A very rare and gorgeous mid century modern Italian ceramic cat jar with a cork stopper. Hand-painted in red, orange yellow and green. I'm uncertain if the cork stopper is original but that's exactly how I acquired this piece and it looks great on this kitty's head! There is also an opening on the bottom with a plastic cover. Mark is quite faint but you can at least see "Italy".
