Very Sweet Old Quilted Cat Pot Holder with Hand-drawn Face and Bow painted wooden bird which was established in 1871Love at first sight with this kitty great fabric, great hand drawn face and bow and front paws (I've seem ink stamped examples of these but this appears hand drawn in black ink, surely washed more than a few times since, such that it has softened in a perfect way) and looks to me as the quilting in white cotton thread was stitched by hand. Charmer. 8 3 8" tall n a hanging loop x 5 3 4" w. Good condition, with a little fraying to the hanging loop and
