Van Briggle Pottery Cat Kitten Figurine-Mat Blue-Violet-1990s-Mid Century Modern

Description

A very cute example of Van Briggle’s creativity when they produced this playful kitten figurine. I believe this example along with another kitten in a different pose were designed and marketed in the last half of the 20th century. I have seen and owned these figurines in a multitude of different colors.  The turquoise and rose hues tend to be most often found; the creators of this example combined a darker blue with the rose color to create a lovely shade of blue-violet. Also on the bottom the initials “LS” for Loretta Short can be viewed. She was a well-known artist as well as finisher who worked for the company between the years 1988–1997. The figurine measures 4” end to end and stands approximately 2 1/4” to ear tip on the top of the head. After thorough examination, I can fine no damage or repairs. There is minor crazing upon close inspection, none of which is stained. I have several of these in both poses and different colors of which I will be posting in my shop. Please view all pictures as they are considered part of the description.
Please check back to my listings often as I will be posting numerous fine examples of glass, pottery and porcelain in the near future.
Thank you.
