Vintage Red Clay Ceramic Sitting Cat Figurine (Made in Japan)

Very cool looking cat figuring with wonderful detailing. Made from red clay ceramic. Glossy finish. Has a small purposeful hold near back tail for holding a pencil or faux flowers...unsure what the intension of this hole was...maybe had another piece attached to it at one time. In very good condition. DIMENSIONS: 5" tall x 2.5" wide. A must for the cat lover/collector!
