Vaughan Smith Westcote Bell Pottery Leaping Cats Pitcher

For when your shelf needs a little more meow and a lot less meh. This handmade ceramic pitcher by Vaughan Smith of Westcote Bell Pottery features a parade of black cats mid-leap—because walking is for amateurs and dogs. Glazed inside and out, with that perfect vintage crackle and a stylized “VS” stamp on the bottom to prove it’s got cred. Westcote Bell, nestled in the UK countryside, is known for small-batch stoneware with bold, graphic designs—often involving cats, hares, or other creatures mid-motion. Smith’s work has that perfect combo of functional, collectible, and a little bit unbothered. Measures approx. 4.75” tall—ideal for cream, flowers, or hiding your secret stash of cocktail stirrers. No chips, no cracks, just cats doing parkour and judging you silently from the sideboard.
