Featured is this ceramic cat by Sunderland?

almost 7" tall but is made rather primitive. From a recent auction.

 

meaning no offence............ to you........

but lord of mercy that's one butt ugly rendition of of some type of pig cat , that's been shit of by a flock of birds.......
even the tail is a joke......

 

ditto, what he said!!

 

Poor ugly little thing ! But that being said,its weird enough that I would have bought it .

 

If you sell this on eBay, make sure you include the words "ugly weird pig cat".

I actually did a little jump when the image came up on my screen & my first thought was this isn't a cat it's a pig.

 

does anyone know if its Sunderland?

To my amateur brain it doesn't have that wide-opened shocked Staffordshire expression-like a shotgun pointed at yr nose.Plus Staffy even tho naive-is a bit more detailed and carefully painted.

 

So...u just bought it then...???
cuz u said u would.....right??

this is a live auction...now.... meow...

So @sunday silence ......u recently bought it and now dumped it back into another auction....and NOW want to know what it is???

or did u just spend 250 + $$$.....on this fugly pig cat ?????????

 

Interesting item. I don’t think it’s Sunderland but could be Staffordshire as suggested. My only worry is the colour inside which looks a bit fake.

 

I'm now very confused........... and paying way too much attention on something I'd toss off a roof....just to see if it could fly !!!!

 

dont know ...but more like sunburnt !!

 

dont think it has been any where near England....orange internal stain not normal and common to Chinese manufactured impersonators........may be wrong ,....but.seems extra large for most Sunderland pieces.....oh well let us just call it Sunderland STYLE.!!!!!

 

Just wrote similar comment and agree with you assessment also..but ommited the possible/ unlikely Staffordshire accreditation.

 

I don’t think it’s English either, fwiw.

 

Beauty (and value) is in the eye of the beholder...

that may be , but I spied a pig just like the price guide did... 37 years ago...

& good news for Sunday !!! ,
I hope you sell it for 3000 pounds !!!!

 

Agreed so would I. What a ugly interesting conversation/statement piece. Just impossible to ignore.. In the twilight zone you could expect it to open it’s mouth and say something.
Maybe in a proper British accent.

 

Blimey, never seen one of those before.

 

This thread just cheered me up no end. Poor little piggy cat got roasted.

 

None in real life for me either, did run across a couple of the cow creamers over the years...
