A Fantastic Beswick Cat Stature or Figurine. It is made in England and in great condition. It is made by John Beswick. It is a fine bone china piece and large. It would be perfect for a fireplace hearth. It is a medium brown and has an ivory with brown chest and a little ivory on the feet. John Beswick is a fine designer and the quality of the products produced in England by Beswick are outstanding. The Beswick name was no longer produced under just the Beswick name in 1969, when the Co. was sold to Royal Daulton. This cat or kitten is 8 1/2" tall. It is marked on the bottom #1867. In 1947, Lucy Beswick suggested bringing to life the illustrations in the Beatrix Potter books. In 1948, John Beswick secured the right to reproduce a range of 10 Beatrix Potter earthenware characters, the first of which was Jemima Puddle-Duck, modelled by Arthur Gredington. In 1952, Beswick began manufacturing a range of Disney characters, including Snow White, Mickey Mouse and Bambi. Along with the designs of James Hayward, the high-quality pieces they produced have become highly sought-after. In 1969 Beswick was sold to Doulton & Co. Ltd (Royal Doulton), and although animal figures continued to be produced, by 1989, the Beswick backstamp was dropped in favour of the Royal Doulton Royal Albert DA backstamp.
