It is a bit hard to see but "Chicago" is impressed on the reverse side at the very bottom

which to me possesses all the beauty of a Brancusi

Wonderful Old Red Cat Wooden Cutout (Missing Hook Feet) beveridge pottery vase with a pontil visible onQuite an old kitty, and one that looks to have once had hooks at its paws, probably to hold a potholder or two. New ones could certainly be added, but I'm pretty partial to this red cat just as it is. Great old painted surface, very sweet. 7" t x 4 7 8" w x 3 16" d and apart the missing hooks in very good condition with a great patina. At some point more recently an eye hook was added to the top for hanging.
