Question:
I have a small porcelain figurine of an arched black cat (approx. 5 1/2 inches tall) from Cmielow, Poland. Attached are some thumbnails. Does anyone have any information about this?
Answer:
Hello Simcrook, I don't know the age of yours but there is some information about the Cmielow Porcelain cats on this site. I love the look of them.

Cool cat! I found yours, and the site's got its history, a good price and everything! (I'll certainly be keeping my eye out for these kitties!)

http://www.czeczko.com/product_info....6ea64c05958fb6 Thanks for the link. I was doing a little more research and found that the Cmielow factory had a fire in the 60's and production ceased. Lately, a number of the original moulds were retrieved and production restarted. The cat that I have was created prior to the fire, and the link you provided shows the same cat figurine post fire. There are some differences in the glazing: there are six white stripes on the tail of the cat that I have as opposed to 4 on the new firings. The underside of the tail is also glazed white on the cat that I have. The backstamp is also apparantly different on the new firings as well.
Interesting history to these kitties!
