Cats are gathering ➡️ #SouthernAllSalesCats Among Winstanley's works, there are no cats with such a melancholic expression. This is a beautiful vintage piece by British ceramic artist Jenny Winstanley, with a pale milky white color and thin gray lines. This color is extremely rare, and it's not often seen. The signature on the back is Jenny Winstanley's own early signature, making it a wonderful, exquisite vintage piece. Winstanley Cats (Kensington Cats) are carefully made one by one, and you can tell the high quality at a glance. Especially when compared to recent works (by Jenny's successors), the vintage pieces by Ms. Winstanley herself have a depth and dimension that is refined and elegant. Also, the eyes, known as cathedral glass eyes, which are a characteristic of Winstanley, are adorable and captivate the viewer's heart. ❇️Size: Height → 22.5cm, Width 13cm, Depth 17cm This is a size "3" work. ❇️Condition: There are no noticeable scratches, chips, or crazing, and it is a beautiful, high-quality item. Ms. Winstanley's words, "Winstanley Cats bring life to gray," are truly reflected in the lifelike cats here. (For reference) The history of Winstanley Cats ~ She started making cats after applying for a position as an assistant at the workshop of her future husband, Allen, who was also a chemist. In the 1950s, it was initially called the Kensington workshop, but the couple began making these distinctive cats created by Jenny in 1958, and later they began using the name Winstanley workshop, Jenny's maiden name. In 1964, they moved the workshop to Norfolk and began exporting mainly to the United States, France, and Italy. In the 80s, the number of models increased too much to manage with model numbers. So, they decided to classify them by approximate size (for a period in the 80s, some items did not have either model numbers or size numbers). In the heyday of the 90s, they employed five staff members and also had a second factory. Jenny passed away in 2004, but the workshop is still supported by a strong fan base. 【BOX】No.2217
