What a Beautiful Pussy You Are!


"O lovely Pussy! O Pussy, my love, 
What a beautiful Pussy you are, 
You are, 
You are! 
What a beautiful Pussy you are!" 

The Owl and the Pussy Cat, Edward Lear

With remarks by a certain presidential candidate regarding his propensity for grabbing pussies making headlines, I thought this week I would post this fine figurine of woman and her pretty pussy that any collector would like to grab.  By the German firm of Dressel, Kister, and Company, this nubile nude and her feline friend are of the finest china and decoration.  Marked underneath her left foot with crowned “L” in gray and freehand “2,” this curvaceous cutie and her cuddly kitty are 4 inches long and 3.5 inches.  The "L" mark replaced the bishop's crozier mark around 1900, under the proprietorship of Rudolph Lenck, and later his widow, Lina, who sold the factory in 1919.

A Quartette of Coquettes in Corsets

These four flirtatious femmes are another series of damsels in dishabille by the German firm of Schafer and Vater.  In addition to the black stockings so favored by Schafer, these lovely lasses each have a blue flower adorning long flowing blonde tresses that fall to their corseted waists, camisoles that insist on slipping off softly rounded shoulders, white bloomers, and orange ankle boots.  They are all of excellent sharp bisque.  


The lady lounging with a book is 4.5 inches long and marked with a freehand “2.” under her hips.  Her less literary sister, who poses provocatively with a oversized fan, is 4 inches long and marked with a freehand "85" underneath.    


The belle buttoning her boot is 2.75 inches long and marked with a freehand "37" underneath.  Her friend flaunting a folded fan is 3 inches high and is unmarked.
