Lot 186: A Blue Mountain Pottery Reclining Cat Figurine in Green Drip Glaze
A Canadian glazed ceramic sculpture of a reclining cat, depicted in a stylized loafing posture with its head turned slightly and tail curled alongside the body. The piece features the characteristic flow glaze associated with the manufacturer, transitioning from a vibrant turquoise or teal green on the upper surfaces to a deep, glossy charcoal black towards the base and extremities. An original blue rectangular hangtag is attached to the neck with a cord. The tag features a circular white logo containing a mountain silhouette and a stylized jug, surrounded by the text BLUE MOUNTAIN POTTERY. Above the logo, the tag is printed with Made in Canada / Fabriqué au Canada. Further text identifies the piece as part of The Blue Mountain Collection / La collection de la Montagne Bleue and provides the manufacturing address in Collingwood, Ontario, Canada L9Y 3Z8, including phone and fax numbers. Two rectangular orange adhesive price or inventory labels are present on the upper side of the body.
Condition report:
The figurine is in good condition with a high-gloss finish throughout. There are no chips, cracks, or repairs visible on the ears, tail, or body from the angle provided. The surface displays prominent white reflections from overhead lighting, which are not indicative of glaze loss or damage.
