A2 Kitty Bank

These were made by Susan Parkinson for Briglin. I would guess at a date of about 1960. They seem to have much of the 'Tom & Jerry' look about them (the cartoon originally produced by Fred Quimby starting in 1940). This one is not signed or stamped. It sits well in the hand and has a good 'feel'. This one is well crazed which reflects its age, he is a bit squiffy eyed but still very charming. He has a slot in the back for coins. In an unusual pale blue color that is not normal for Briglin items. The colour is from the cobalt oxide which was also used on the Arsenic mug (See Galley C10). Parkinson object have become very collectable in recent years as they have a distinctive style all of their own.

I so like this cats smile - I thought I would add a super size image for you all to enjoy... smile!
