Much Loved Made in Japan Porcelain Cat Face Dish letter with drawing giving the whole thing theA sad cat inside of an orange heart on the face of an old dish that has been mended and mended again how could I resist? Someone clearly loved this a lot, and I think they were right. Made in Japan c. 1920s 30s I believe, hand painted porcelain, with lustre glaze on the sides. One hairline clack visible on the front and quite a crack pattern on the back. But stable now and just great looking I think. 3 3 8" l x 2 1 4" w x 13 16" t.
