ANTIQUE AUSTRIAN TERRACOTTA CAT 1880 - 1900

Currently unavailable

This is a superb antique terracotta: a full-size cat .

XIXth Century, Austria.

Austria is considered to have produced some of the finest terracotta pottery figures in the last half of the 19th and into the 20th centuries.

This is a fabulous piece of late 19th century Austrian terracotta pottery that may have come from the Friedrich Goldscheider or Bernhard Bloch company.

It is realistically sculpted. The eyes are of glass and are original to the piece, and as such are almost lifelike.

The terracotta has been painted in a brown color to add to its realistic appearance.

The piece is so well modeled and of exceptional quality that it would be difficult to attribute its creation to any other than one of the well-known Austrian pottery companies of the late 19th century.
