About this Item
Literature
Marjorie Reynolds, Dorothy Kay, Everything You Do is a Portrait of Yourself, Alec Marjorie Reynolds, Rosebank, 1989, page 250, where this cat is discussed:
'Two early ceramics were clamoured for by cat lovers. The first (1951), untitled but known as Decorated Cat , is an almost life-size chocolate brown cat.....The second, White Cat, is similar in form, but in contrast it is in white glaze but for the pale colours of its garland and its yellow-green eyes with black slit pupils. Surprisingly, it is signed 'D Kay, 1952' as one would have guessed it to be the earlier of the two'.
