Wonderful Old Red Cat Wooden Cutout (Missing Hook Feet) deco vase perhaps Chinese inspired but aQuite an old kitty, and one that looks to have once had hooks at its paws, probably to hold a potholder or two. New ones could certainly be added, but I'm pretty partial to this red cat just as it is. Great old painted surface, very sweet. 7" t x 4 7 8" w x 3 16" d and apart the missing hooks in very good condition with a great patina. At some point more recently an eye hook was added to the top for hanging.
