Cats are gathering ➡️ #SouthernAllSalesCats This is a Winstanley Cat (Kensington Cat), a black cat that looks just like it's alive. In the UK, the home of Winstanley Cats, black cats are considered a "lucky cat" and a lucky item. There are various theories about its origins, but one theory is that it originated from King Charles I of the 17th century, who loved his black cat very much. There is a saying by Ms. Winstanley (died in 2004), "Winstanley Cats bring life to gray," which means that the Winstanley Cat truly brings life to the clay. This is a size 4 black cat.

This cat also follows the viewer's gaze with clear eyes. ✴️Size: Size "4", height 24.5cm, depth 15cm, width 15cm. ✴️Condition: Excellent condition with no cracks or chips. (Reference) History of Winstanley Cats ~ Jenny Winstanley started making cats after applying for a job as an assistant at the workshop of her future husband, Allen. In the 1950s, it was initially called the Kensington workshop, but the couple began making the distinctive cats created by Jenny in 1958, and later they began to call themselves the Winstanley workshop, Jenny's maiden name. In 1964, they moved the workshop to Norfolk, and exports began mainly to the US, France, and Italy. In the 1980s, the number of models increased so much that they could no longer be managed by model numbers. So they decided to classify them by approximate size. In the heyday of the 1990s, they employed five staff and also had a second factory. Jenny passed away in 2004, but her sons have become successors, and works are still being made today. ✳️Winstanley ✳️Winstanley Cat ✳️Winstanley Cat ✳️Kensington Cat ✳️Cat figurine ✳️Sekahoshi (a Japanese TV program) ✳️Sekahoshi (abbreviation) ✳️Dog figurine 【TA】 No.2212
