At his feet, a graceful cat rests curled up. The figurine is polychrome painted with fine detail, reflecting the quality and elegance characteristic of continental porcelain.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWhile German porcelain manufactories were known for producing similar works, even the most prestigious British porcelain firms took inspiration from these continental styles. This particular piece is a pseudo-Chelsea example, produced in France. The Chelsea porcelain manufactory, England's first major porcelain producer, operated independently from circa 1743-1770, after which it merged with Derby. French firms, including Samson, were known for crafting high-quality imitations of British porcelain, such as this figurine.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nMeasurements\u003cbr\u003e\nHeight: 13.8 cm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nCondition\u003cbr\u003e\nExcellent antique condition.
