Rare Antique German Bisque Jointed Kitty parlor games This piece is in perfect

This piece is in perfect condition other than the tiny surface chip on the underside

The quite depressing lyrics tell the story of a man and his hound Jim

The reverse side is a solid dark red

This wonderful late 19th or very early 20th century basket I purchased from the estate of Elaine Bradbury Vercoe

Rare Antique German Bisque Jointed Kitty parlor games This piece is in perfectOne certainly sees antique jointed bisque baby dolls around, but much rarer to find a cat this one German, circa 1890 or so I believe. From what I've learned there were a variety of jointed dogs and cats made in this manner, but they're quite scarce now, making them pretty valuable little things. I really like the painted face and red bow on this little kitty, who can pose in a variety of ways. 2 1 8" l x 2 1 4" t. Good antique condition, no chips or
