ABOUT PRODUCTID 33155
This ceramic money box, shaped as a stylized cat, is a striking example of 1970s design by the Dutch manufacturer Jema Holland. Standing 26 cm tall, the piece is crafted from glazed ceramic in a vivid, glossy red, with deep brown-black accents on the ears, tail, and base creating a subtle gradient effect. The lustrous finish and embossed floral and geometric motifs lend the figure both depth and a play of light. Exaggerated proportions—an elongated neck and body, small head, slender limbs, and large pointed ears—define its whimsical, mid-century modern character with a distinct retro pop sensibility. The construction is seamless, with all decorative details molded directly into the ceramic. The authenticity is confirmed by the maker’s mark. The money box is preserved in very good condition, with only a minor, expertly retouched chip on the eyelid as the sole sign of age. This ceramic cat channels the spirit of the 1970s, when home décor embraced bold colors and stylized forms. Its glossy surface reflects the light like a flickering neon, echoing the playful optimism and geometric experimentation of the era. The embossed patterns tell a story of fascination with both fantasy and modernity, while the vivid red glaze pulses with energy—a tongue-in-cheek homage to pop culture and the cheerful design language of the time. The money box can be displayed on a bookshelf or console table as a vibrant accent in a collector’s or eclectic interior. It pairs well with other vintage objects, Murano glass, mid-century prints, or textiles with geometric motifs. In a mid-century modern setting, it is best complemented by light wood and neutral backgrounds, allowing the energetic form and glossy ceramic to take center stage. The listed price refers to one piece.
