    Hi all. I have a lenox brand figurine cat, it says "charming kitty" on the bottom. The problem is, I have been struggling to find the value of this. The only image I can seem to find is one on google. When I click the link it sends me to etsy but I think it was an already completed sale so it redirects me to the search. Thus i havent been able to find much about it. The following is just a stock image that was there as well but led me to nothing as well.

    Hi,
    We need to see the bottom of the cat. The bottoms can tell wonders.

    If I'm not mistaken, Lenox had a whole Sweet Kitties "sculpture collection" in the mid to late 2000's, and I think Charming Kitty was part of that collection.

    They are made of resin, I believe, not the Lenox "china" many of us remember.

    Good grief, do they call resin "cold cast porcelain" now? It sure does look like resin from Daijak's picture. It can't truly be porcelain, can it?

    Sorry, I know this doesn't help with a "sold for" price.

    I tried every-which-way I could think of to get the original URL from the Etsy listing so I could plug it in at FlipperTools, but alas, Google and Etsy have sufficiently shoved it down the memory hole. No Google cache, no nuthin.

    Also, I braved a supposed link to Pinterest hoping to get the original Etsy URL, but got a Lenox vase instead.
    Here it is, if anyone else wants to try and get there from Google images.

    Hi,
    It is called Lenox but it is really Dept 56. Lenox was sold several years ago. The only Lenox still made in the USA is the dinnerware in North Carolina. It is soon to be shipped out so if you want to match your Lenox, the time to buy is NOW.

    Hey Thanks all for the help.

    I read some of the replies and I am glad at least Someone knows about this. Even if this is not so valuable I still think its cute. I actually paid 8$ at a thrift store for it so even if its not worth a ton its adorable :)

    "Cold cast porcelain" means porcelain dust mixed with resin...
