Description
Lladró's animal figurines are among the most naturalistically observed in the Spanish porcelain tradition, and this grey and white seated cat, with its head tilted, ears pricked, and eyes wide with curiosity, captures the particular alertness of a cat that has heard something it cannot yet identify.
Modelled in grey and white porcelain with soft hand-painted detail, this Lladró seated cat features the Daisa 1981 mark to the base, confirming its production year and giving the piece a traceable vintage provenance. The modelling of the facial features, the texture of the fur, and the precise rendering of the tilted head and pricked ears demonstrate the naturalistic skill that distinguishes Lladró's animal subjects from more generic decorative figurines. The grey and white colourway, with its subtle tonal variation, gives the piece a realistic quality that rewards close inspection. Lladró cat figurines from the early 1980s are consistently sought after by collectors of the house's animal range.
