Paul Cardew Design Cool Catz Kittenz Stretching, Egyptian, PCD8

Paul Cardew 'Cool Catz' | Stretching Egyptian Kitten 

Sleek Elegance meets Ancient Myth: The Cool Catz collection represents a stylish departure for Paul Cardew. Moving away from the rustic charm of his teapots, this series celebrates the fluid lines and graceful silhouettes of the feline form. The Stretching Egyptian Kitten is a standout piece, blending modern British ceramic design with the timeless aesthetic of Ancient Egyptian art.

A Rare Short-Production Treasure: The Cool Catz and Kittenz range were only produced for a very limited window, making them some of the most sought-after non-teapot items in the Cardew archive. This stretching kitten features a sophisticated Egyptian-inspired motif, finished with the high-gloss glaze and intricate 18ct gold gilding that defined this short-lived series.

Provenance & Packaging:

• Original Presentation: This kitten is accompanied by its rare original blue velvet drawstring bag—the hallmark of the premium Cool Catz line.

• Original Box: Includes the original Cardew presentation box. (Please note: The vintage box shows some signs of "well-loved" shelf wear/tattiness, but has served its purpose in protecting the pristine figurine inside).

• Authenticated: Designed in England by the Paul Cardew Design Studio.

Collector's Tip: Because of their short production run, "Cool Catz" are frequently bought in pairs or trios to create a sleek, modernist display. Their minimalist profile makes them perfect for contemporary home styling.

Cool Catz and Kittenz

Cool Catz and Kittenz were another amazing creation by Paul Cardew. In each set there are four differently poised felines, the larger Catz and the smaller Kittenz. Each set consists of one sitting, one stretching, one sitting with paws crossed and one in a scared pose. Paul Cardew has an incredible ability to have created the exact representation of a cat's posture in these designs. Anyone who owns a cat will know exactly what we mean! From every angle they are absolutely fabulous! The decorations on them are stunning and include either silver gilding or gold gilding using 18ct gold lustre, just to add that little extra bit of purrfection!
