This pair of Staffordshire porcelain cat figurines, dating to the 1970s revival period, embodies the continuity of Victorian English ceramic craft interpreted through vintage aesthetics. Each cat is rendered in smooth, glossy porcelain, seated upright atop a square deep cobalt blue pillow adorned with hand-painted gold tassels at each corner. Their bodies are rendered in a warm, ivory base with lightly stippled orange patches across their flanks, chest, and paws—evoking classic calico markings. The hand-painted reddish-pink ribbons around each cat's neck and the gently stylized, naive facial features—painted eyes, noses, and whiskers—reflect a folk-art sensibility rooted in the Staffordshire tradition. The anatomical proportions are slightly exaggerated, with elongated necks and attentively pointed ears, referencing mid-to-late 19th-century Staffordshire forms while clearly marking this set as a product of the 1970s’ decorative resurgence. The condition is very good throughout, with no visible chips, cracks, or major restoration. Only minor, surface-level glaze crazing typical for vintage porcelain is present.These figurines evoke the atmosphere of Victorian parlors, where ornamental animals spoke of fascination with the exotic and infused everyday interiors with gentle whimsy. Glistening from their cobalt pillows, the cats gaze out with a quietly mischievous air, as if weaving anecdotes from generations past—embodying the nostalgia of English
