AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Jema Ware Black Cat Sculpture – Model “Holland” – Maastricht, Netherlands, 1955
Manufacturer: Jema Ware, Maastricht, Netherlands
Year: circa 1955
A striking mid-century ceramic cat sculpture by Jema Ware, one of the most recognizable decorative designs produced by the Maastricht ceramics manufacturer. The elongated neck, stylized silhouette, glossy black glaze, and vivid green eyes create a highly expressive form that embodies the playful and imaginative aesthetic of post-war Dutch decorative ceramics.
Produced in Maastricht, where Jema Ware operated from approximately 1945 to 1984, this model remains among the company's most sought-after animal figures and is appreciated by collectors of mid-century European ceramics and retro interior design.
Good vintage condition with age-related wear consistent with use and age. The glaze retains an attractive shine and the sculpture presents well. Please examine the photographs carefully, as they form an integral part of the description and the item will be delivered exactly as shown.
