Vintage Style Spun Cotton Christmas Cat Figure

This Item Has Been Sold

Product Description
This spun cotton Christmas cat figure is a handmade original design by Old World Primitives.

This little vintage style Christmas kitty wears a hand dyed red crepe paper skirt with a green crepe paper waistband. She carries a vintage mini Christmas ball pick, has a reproduction Victorian paper scrap face, and is embellished with two gold Dresden buttons. Her body is tea stained to give her an antique appearance.

This spun cotton Christmas cat ornament stands atop a round paper mache box that I have painted antique white. The top of the box is decorated with tea dyed cotton, green excelsior, Spanish moss, and a frosted mini bottle brush pine tree that stands behind the kitty.

The entire piece is 6" high. The box (which opens and closes to give you a place to store little Christmas candies or other treats) is 2 3/4" in diameter and 1 5/8" tall.
Inspiration/Story Behind This Product
Spun cotton is a craft that dates back to the late 1800s with origins in Germany. I enjoy keeping the tradition alive for fellow collectors of this unique art form.
