Vintage Tony Wood Pussyfoot Cat Teapot 1980s

A seated tuxedo cat with a green bow tie and a tail that doubles as a handle.

This 1980s Tony Wood Studios ‘Pussyfoot’ teapot combines black and white colouring with an upright pose and expressive face. The green bow tie provides a bright accent, giving the ceramic cat a distinctly dressed appearance.

Made in Staffordshire, England, it turns the practical elements of a teapot into part of the animal’s form. The curved tail handle is a particularly effective detail, keeping the silhouette recognisably feline.

At approximately 25 cm tall, this is a substantial ceramic piece with enough presence to anchor a shelf or sideboard. Pair it with plain contemporary pottery or display it against a coloured wall, where the black and white shape can stand out.

A memorable piece of British novelty pottery and an unusual vintage gift for a cat lover.
