Featured Staffordshire Cat Figure ?

An unusual cat foigure with glass eyes has me at the boards again, picked this unusual cat figure with glass eyes and have thoroughly researched but turned up nothing.Theres a firing hole underneath with a sliver of wood in it and there's a serial number to its feet looks like 3460 any help identifying this strange cat always appreciated.

 

That's an interesting figurine. Given the painting, might look towards Delft.

 

Thought Dutch maybe as well as Staffordshire but not a thing and haven't seen an example that resembles this cat.

 

What about a Delft Ware copy of a Galle cat figure I saw a white one with similar blue painting on it , it's the closest I have seen that looks remotely like it .I did the usual image search and one came up at an auction like a larger sitting version.

 

I believe I found an Ebay.UK post about one but I can't access it to see if it was identified. https://www.google.com/search?q=del...AhVKyoMKHbowA0oQ9QEIPTAD#imgrc=mBusj6bQamv5LM:

 

Hmm, comparing the cats closely I believe that is yours. Sorry!

 

Hi that's fine no probs thanks for taking the time to look .Havent any joy yet but will try and see if I can I'd it through the number on its paws.

 

Did you come across this guy? The seller thought it was Bavent which is a new term for me.

Hi Don looks to be more art pictures than pottery but still worth me checking out thanks again,William.

 

I'm sorry, Brubaker50. It would help if I'd included the link. My brain fog has been worse than usual the last few days.

I have looked high and low. I can't get anywhere with the number. I wonder if the odd firing hole might be a clue? I will look more when I have a few minutes. It is a rather striking cat and I find it attractive BTW.

 

Found a company called "Just Cats and Co" Staffordshire doing cats with glass eyes. I can't find one like yours but it looks like something they would do. Maybe a sticker was removed or it was an early one. Might be worth digging a little deeper. I believe you are in England and your search engines might turn up stuff mine doesn't. https://www.google.com/search?q=just+cats+&+co&source=lnms&tbm=isch&biw=1680&bih=917

 

Found one in another color but no ID https://www.google.com/search?biw=1.....0.0.0....0.b_LtFZ6JSgY#imgrc=VjuApYVlc5EhaM:

 

I've had a lot of Just Cats, I don't think this is one of theirs. Dutch motif, but it looks Chinese in shape.

 

All will be forgiven Don, that hat is priceless. I hadn't seen this one before, you put that silly grin on my face again, thank you!
