Posted by admin On May 13, 2025

Here we have an early cat bank that is simply exceptional and is highly collectable among cat and bank collectors. The potter molded the cat in a realistic seated pose looking forward with its tail wrapped around its hind feet. This is nicely molded with the light Rockingham glaze accenting the fine details in the cat. The bank was molded in three pieces, front, back and base and were joined before firing. You can see the seam along the side and back of the cat with a sliver of clay missing. Measuring 3 ¾ high, the bank is in near mint condition with wear along the seam where the halves were joined and no other damage or repairs. On the underside, you can see where extra clay stuck to the bottom during firing in the kiln. Early cat banks are highly collectable and would be prized in any collection.
