We think we found the cat that swallowed the canary.  This smiling ceramic MCM cat is pretty pleased with herself, and for good reason - with creamy white fur and a hint of mischief in her eyes, she's ready to add a healthy dose of whimsy to your home. 


She does have one small chip on one toe in her front paw.


Emile Galle was a french designer who made this style of cheeky ceramic cats, with glass-set eyes, famous.  This one is not that.  This painted-eye style feline hails from Italy, made by Costa, producers of ceramic and porcelain majolica wares.  We actually prefer this one for the simplicity;  Galle-styles are often painted busy patterns and we like that this cheshire-style grin is the focal point of the piece.
