MCM Norcrest Cat and Kitten

Here's a fun accent piece for a MCM room. This piece is made by Norcrest of Japan. It is quite tall at 13 inches and will be noticed. The cat and kitten have adorable faces with great eye and whisker details. The body of the cat is striped with an embossed pattern. This piece is made from a very light porcelain and has a hollow body.
This piece is in great shape. There is one small spot of orange paint loss in a small crease in the back (please review pics). No cracks, chips, or crazing have been observed.
These are vintage items which have a rich history. While I do my best to provide an accurate description, please closely review the photos to admire these items and review their unique history and idiosyncrasies.
