This week we are celebrating our feline companions in honor of National Cat Day, which is held on October 29th. To our many customers who have requested more cat-themed collectibles, keep a look out this week for more posts featuring our favorites!
In the small village of Boleslawiec, Poland, skilled artisans continue the tradition of Polish folk art with our hand-painted Polish Pottery cat sculptures that we couldn’t help but name. Each piece is handcrafted of stoneware, meticulously hand-painted using hand-carved sponges and fine brushwork, then glazed and fired at high temperatures for everlasting beauty.

Since 1966, Ermengildo and his wife Renata have been crafting and decorating exquisite blown-glass ornaments in the picturesque village of Bellagio, overlooking Italy’s Lake Como. Together with their daughter Annalisa, they create highly collectible glass ornaments. With remarkable craftsmanship, each ornament is carefully hand-blown using traditional techniques as they gather a dab of molten glass at the end of a tube, and then heat it over a flame as they gently blow to inflate the shape. To finish, the ornaments are then hand-painted with charming motifs honoring our animal friends.
