Topic: Plichta London England "Nekola pinxt" Cat

[Eesh]

Hello,

  My grandmother has a Cat that her mother-in-law got from a friend.  Her friend brought it to Canada when she settled here.  It says Plichta London England "Nekola pinxt" on the bottom of it. I would say its around a foot tall and has green glass eyes. Anyways here are some pictures.......

Oh isn't she sweet? We have another rather long discussion about a polka dot thinking cat here too: http://www.yobunny.com/pottery/index.php?topic=10080.0 and there's an interesting article in PDF file format on Plichta pieces here: http://www.wemyssware.co.uk/media/bbc_jan08.pdf

I should have added that although your cat says Plichta, he was the wholesaler not the maker or decorator. Joe Nekola was the decorator. there is a little more about their relationship here: http://www.kalendar.demon.co.uk/pountbovey.htm and some more about Plichta here: http://www.piggybankpage.co.uk/wemyss_plichta.htm
