I had a selection of these wee comical cats back in 2022 - and most were sold then. This is one that I did not have originally - and was lucky to find some other duplicates which I have just listed.
This is one of a set of little vintage Goebel china figurines featuring cute little black cats - each dressed as humans.
They all date from the early 196os and were designed by Albert Staehle (1899-1974) - one of America's greatest animal illustrators of the mid-20th century.
These wee black cat models are rare survivors and given their fragility great to find them without issues after 60 years.
They are all in PURRR-fect condition. I must admit that I am more of a doggie person - but these uber-cute models would certainly melt your heart.
This one takes the form of a little black cat dressed as a lady. She wears a sky-blue dress, carried a little handbag, and like the boy cat - carries a little pink and white striped umbrella or summer parasol.
This little china Goebel figurine has no damage or restoration.
Ms Kitty Cat is 4 1/2 inches in height and has a base diameter of about 2 inches.
UK postage would be with Royal Mail Recorded. This will cost £4.95 and applied at the checkout. We shall of course pack very, very carefully as he is very delicate.
