This Takahashi Japanese ceramic sitting cat figurine I have posted in my Ebay Store features butterflies and leaf decorations.
It measures 5.5 inches high.
It was made exclusively for the Takahashi Company of San Francisco in the 60’s with the original Takahashi seal at the base.
The condition is like-new.

1 pair of 9″ Filigreed Peruvian Brass Ladies Stirrup Shoes – Circa 1800 Antique
On this page I show you a pair of fabulous old Stirrup shoes made for a lady or possibly young girl that I have posted in my Ebay Store.
Most females back then would have ridden side-saddle, so one only shoe was needed. By my having two here, this shows either a spare or someone who rode by herself and not side-saddle.
I’m told that these shoes were usually fashioned from old melted down brass cannon balls. Hard to date precisely but it is from the Spanish Colonial era around the late 18th-to early 19th century.
These stirrups are nicely engraved with ornate filigree decoration …the stirrup shoe is 9″ in length.
A really nice old Peruvian historical piece. A single one in a similar style sells on Rubylane for $225.00.
