Vintage Tony Wood Pussyfoot Cat Teapot 1980s

A striking Tony Wood Pussyfoot cat teapot, modelled as a seated black and white cat with expressive features and a distinctive green bow tie.

Made by Tony Wood Studios in Staffordshire during the 1980s, this unusual ceramic teapot turns a familiar piece of kitchenware into an entertaining character piece. The tuxedo style colouring, upright seated pose and carefully modelled features give Pussyfoot an unmistakable presence.

Tony Wood’s novelty ceramics are admired for their imaginative forms and the way they bring humour into everyday objects. This teapot is a particularly enjoyable example, combining practical design with the bold personality of his animal inspired pottery.

Standing at approximately 25 cm tall, Pussyfoot makes an impressive display piece on open kitchen shelving, amongst vintage ceramics or as part of a collection of animal and novelty pottery. The green bow tie adds a wonderful finishing touch and gives the black and white design an especially distinctive look.

A memorable piece of 1980s Staffordshire character pottery, with plenty of feline attitude.
