Tail hinge intact and moves smoothly. ✨ DESCRIPTION This charming vintage ceramic cat brooch features a stylized black and white feline form with a unique articulated tail that moves freely on a hinge, adding playful motion and personality to the piece. Crafted from glazed ceramic, the body displays a high-gloss finish with contrasting black and white patches, reminiscent of a tuxedo cat. The sculptural silhouette is simple yet expressive, with smooth contours and a slightly abstracted form that reflects mid-century studio craft aesthetics. The tail is independently attached and swings gently with movement, giving the piece an interactive quality that sets it apart from standard brooch designs. The back reveals a hand-applied pin mechanism secured with adhesive, a common construction method seen in handmade or small-batch ceramic jewelry from the mid to late 20th century. This piece is lightweight yet substantial enough to sit well on garments, making it ideal for jackets, sweaters, scarves, or bags. --- 📏 MEASUREMENTS Length: Approx. 2.5 inches Width: Approx. 1.75 inches Weight: 15 grams --- 🔍 MATERIALS Glazed ceramic body Metal pin back (adhesive-mounted) Hinged articulated tail --- 📝 CONDITION Good vintage condition: Minor surface wear consistent with age No major chips or cracks observed Adhesive visible on back from original construction Pin mechanism functional Tail hinge intact and moves smoothly --- 🧠 STYLE / ERA CONTEXT (this helps sell it) Pieces like this are often associated with: Mid-century novelty jewelry (1960s–1980s) Studio ceramic or artisan craft jewelry Whimsical animal-themed accessories popular in boutique markets --- 📦 MANHATTAN TREASURE CO.
