Day 42: Cynthia Mitchell Wall Plaque

Day 42: Today's piece is another piece by my fav post war Tasmanian potter Cynthia Mitchell and what a piece it is! This is Skimbleshanks the Railway cat who drives the mail train. He is from T.S. Eliot's, Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats. My guess is this 3D wall plaque is a complete one off. There are 14 or so poems in the book and my guess is there is a wall plaque for every poem (I know of the existence of 3 other T.S. Eliot cat plaques). I love this piece and waited a numer of years for one to turn up. I wouldn't be surprised if the "missing" 10 or so plaques have migrated to the mainland or indeed overseas. Fingers crossed they haven't been consigned to the land fill. @mitchellroad #lovemitchellroad #AustralianPottery #AustralianArtPottery #Pottery #Ceramics #instapottery #AustralianDesign #TasmanianPottery #TasmanianCeramics #TasmanianArt #TasmanianStudioCeramics #CynthiaMitchellPottery #CynthiaMitchell #tseliot #Skimbleshanks #Cats #Cat #Kitten #365DaysofAustralianPottery
