Set of Five Vintage Beswick Cats' Chorus Jazz Band Figurines with Singer

Product Description

A wonderfully charming set of five vintage Beswick Cats' Chorus figurines, featuring a delightful group of feline jazz musicians, complete with a glamorous lead singer.

Originally produced as a series of ten individual characters, Beswick's Cats' Chorus features a delightful variety of feline musicians. These five charming characters from the original series, including the glamorous lead singer, come together to create a wonderfully entertaining little jazz band.

Each cat has its own distinctive personality, from the elegant singer in her black evening dress and red gloves to the colourful musicians playing their instruments. Together, they create a lively and playful scene full of character, humour and vintage charm.

The five characters included in this set are:

• Purrfect Pitch (CC1): The glamorous lead singer in a black evening gown with red gloves.
• Glam Guitar (CC10): A long-haired guitarist in a colourful outfit with bright red boots.
• Ratcatcher Bilk (CC4): A smartly dressed clarinettist wearing a blue jacket and top hat.
• Calypso Kitten (CC2): A lively conga drummer in a bright yellow floral shirt.
• Catwalking Bass (CC6): A cheerful double bassist in a yellow jacket, with a separate double bass.

With their expressive faces, colourful costumes and beautifully detailed instruments, these delightful cats bring a wonderful sense of fun and individuality to the home. A particularly appealing group for cat lovers, jazz enthusiasts and anyone who enjoys characterful British vintage pottery.

Each figure was made in England by Beswick and bears the original maker's backstamp, together with its individual character name.

Condition
