Very Rare Welsh Studio Pottery Cats by Doniau Cudd, Bangor, North Wales

This rare and highly collectible pair of studio pottery cats was handcrafted by Doniau Cudd Pottery in Bangor, North Wales. With their whimsical expressions and elegantly elongated forms, these charming felines capture the distinctive character of mid-to-late 20th-century Welsh artisan pottery. 

Each cat is crafted from terracotta clay, finished with a glazed surface in two unique tones—one in a deep chocolate brown and the other in a soft off-white with hand-painted russet markings. The expressive, closed-eyed faces and stylized features give them a delightful sense of personality, making them a perfect pair for display. 

The base of one is signed “Doniau Cudd Bangor”, confirming its authenticity and adding to its rarity, as pieces from this Welsh pottery studio are seldom seen on the market.

A wonderful find for collectors of Welsh pottery, cat lovers, or those who appreciate unique, handcrafted ceramics, this duo makes a beautiful statement as decorative figures, bookends, or stand-alone pieces in any vintage-inspired or contemporary interior.

Doniau Cudd Pottery was a ceramics studio based in Bangor, North Wales, known for producing distinctive pieces in the late 20th century.
