Made in the Jalisco studio-pottery tradition of Mexico (the region famous for Tonalá ceramics), she sits tall and self-possessed, wrapped in a striking Art Deco design of cream, deep black, rust-orange, and gleaming gold lustre. The geometric markings are bold and graphic in a way you rarely see in Mexican pottery, which usually leans rustic and folksy — this one has real studio polish, a denser body with satisfying heft, and a refined finish that sets it apart from the typical folk-art cat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTurn her over and the story gets even better. The base carries the artist's marks: a looped monogram, a worn hand-painted polychrome backstamp, and — best of all — an incised cat chop, a little drawing of a curled-up cat the maker pressed into the clay as their signature. A potter who specialized in cats, signing their work with a cat: it's the kind of detail collectors adore. In the interest of full honesty, we've researched the marks and the specific maker remains unconfirmed, so she's offered as a signed Mexican studio piece rather than attributed to one artist — part of the fun for anyone who loves a beautiful mystery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA genuinely preloved decorative find with light crazing throughout (a natural characteristic of age in the glaze) and gold lustre that remains lovely all over. A confident statement on a bookshelf, mantel, or entry console — and an unforgettable gift for the cat lover with great taste. One of a kind; only one available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Mexico — Jalisco \/ Tonalá studio-pottery tradition. Artist-signed: monogram + incised cat chop (maker unconfirmed). Condition: Very Good — light crazing throughout; gold lustre intact; no chips or repairs noted. A single figurine (not a pair).\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TheKollectiveFind","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46445788332229,"sku":null,"price":400.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0641\/4221\/3317\/files\/Vintage-MexicanArtDecoLustrewareCatFigurine-GoldBlackRust-Artist-Signed-front.png?v=1782488445","url":"https:\/\/www.thekollectivefind.com\/products\/vintage-mexican-art-deco-lustreware-cat-figurine-gold-black-rust-artist-signed","provider":"The Kollective Find","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
