RARE & HIGHLY COLLECTIBLE
VINTAGE ROYAL DOULTON Lucky Seated Cat FIGURINE Ooloo Character K12 - Retired - Mint.
A charming vintage Royal Doulton Cat Figurine. This wonderful black cat was handpainted with great detail and skill, with its sweet white face with small slit eyes, pink nose, and open pink mouth revealing two tiny sharp teeth.
“Lucky” is an English Bone China piece that was first issued in 1932 and was made until it was retired in 1975. It is from Royal Doulton's Small Animal Series designed by the highly regarded English pottery designer Charles J. Noke.
In 1921, the editor of The Sketch asked G. E. Studdy to produce more of his 'Studdy Dogs', his illustrations of the endearing antics of a puppy. They became an instant hit, and soon the readers demanded to know the name of "the Nation's pet". In 1922, it was revealed that the pup's name was Bonzo.
Bonzo took an immediate flight in popularity, appearing in advertisements, films, children's books, comics (in Toby magazine) and even a neon sign on Piccadilly Circus. In 1927, George Studdy decided to stop drawing 'Bonzo' for The Sketch. Instead, he came up with a cat, in the series 'Exit Bonzo - Enter Ooloo!'.
This whimsical Bone China kitty is named "Lucky", although Is referred as “Ooloo Cat" (a 1920's character by George E. Studdy). It's a nice small figurine, measuring about 2 3/4" tall. It has a green bottom Royal Doulton mark, the name "LUCKY", along with a hand painted "K12” with “Y” below it.
It has great colour and detail
