Vintage Figurine

One of the most appealing and popular types of the Persian cat figurine depicts a mother cat and her kitten(s). The mother is often shown lying down but the kittens are scrambling about and playing. They may even be playing with another object such as a ball of yarn or a butterfly.  In this instance, you can almost hear the mother purring as she watches her youngsters.

The nature of the Persian

Finding a unique Persian cat figurine is a joy to any collector and there are many unique and whimsical pieces to be found. White cats are frequent, but the Persian breed can also be depicted in ginger, red, black, gray, cinnamon and brown. The animal can be shown with the characteristic flat face of the Persian or in the rarer cat face form of the breed. The tail can be skinny or bushy.

The size of the figurine also differs depending on where it should be placed. Common design materials include crystal, ceramic, stone resin and bone china. These creations make beautiful birthday or anniversary gifts especially to someone who loves cats. Even children will appreciate the exquisite beauty of a Persian cat figurine as it can become an heirloom that is handed down the generations. With a little care and maintenance you can create a collection that will be the focal point of any dinner party at home.
