Description
The crouching cat with tail raised is one of the most dynamic poses in the feline repertoire, conveying a state of playful alertness that is immediately recognisable to anyone who has observed a cat at play, and Lladró's modelling of this pose, in sandy and white porcelain, captures it with characteristic naturalistic precision.
Modelled in sandy and white porcelain with soft hand-painted detail, this Lladró crouching cat features the Daisa 1981 mark to the base, confirming its production year and giving the piece a traceable vintage provenance. The crouching pose, with the body low and the tail raised, is rendered with the attention to feline anatomy and behaviour that distinguishes Lladró's animal subjects, and the sandy and white colourway, with its warm tonal variation, gives the piece a naturalistic quality that complements the grey and white seated cat in the grouping. At 10 cm tall and 11 cm wide, this is a compact but characterful piece.
