This little ceramic nightlight is the cat’s meow. She stands not quite 6” tall and at her widest (along the base of the lamp) measures about 4.25”. She has a built-in night light with a plug-in cord and a toggle to snap it on and off. The ceramic cat has a matte finish, with oodles of curly long hair (a Persian?), green eyes, a tiny red mouth and short little whiskers. I think she’s perfect as is, but if you wanted to paint different colors on her it could be an excellent and super fun project. Rare, retro, kitschy piece of cat art masquerading as a nightlight. Very 1950s little girl’s room.
