Antique Royal Bayreuth Black Cat Sunburst Figural Creamer - Bavaria c. 1902

This exquisite antique Royal Bayreuth figural creamer is a premier example of early 20th-century German porcelain, featuring the highly sought-after "climbing cat" handle in a sleek matte black finish. The body of the pitcher showcases the factory’s iconic "Sunburst" luster glaze, which transitions beautifully from a soft, creamy yellow to a vibrant, warm burnt orange with a delicate iridescent sheen. Authenticated by the blue "Lion and Shield" backstamp used between 1902 and the early 1930s, this whimsical Art Nouveau piece remains a cornerstone for collectors of fine figural ceramics and vintage feline-themed decor. It is in excellent antique condition, boasting crisp detail on the cat’s features and a lustrous, high-quality finish that exemplifies the superior craftsmanship of the Tettau, Bavaria region.
