vintage Japan black cat teapot wall pocket planter, hand painted ceramic redware

Vintage redware ceramic wall pocket made in Japan, 1950s or 60s. This kitty is shaped like a tea pot, with tail curved as a handle, and paw as a spout. Strange, but cute. Fun for a cat collection, or for Halloween!

The planter pocket has a hole at the back to hang on the wall, but this makes a good shelf sitter, too. Measures about 6 3/4" wide x 5 1/2" tall over the cat. There's a little wear to the paint, but it's in very good clean condition without chips, cracks or soil.
