Vintage Novelty Teapot in the Form of a Blue Upholstered Armchair with Sleeping Cat

Wonderful vintage novelty teapot modelled as an upholstered armchair, complete with quilted blue upholstery, gilt scroll arms, draped blanket, and a sleeping cat curled peacefully on the seat. The spout emerges from one armrest, with the handle cleverly integrated at the rear.

Richly detailed throughout, including tufted button upholstery, decorative trim, and a ball of yarn at the base, this is a highly characterful and whimsical piece. The removable lid continues the tufted upholstery motif, maintaining the illusion of a miniature upholstered chair.

Equally suited for display or gentle use, this is a charming collector’s teapot with strong decorative appeal.
