VINTAGE SIGNED FOLK ART CAT PLATTER AND BOWL SET LUCI ELLYN HAND PAINTED STUDIO POTTERY WHIMSICAL CERAMIC SERVING DISH

A striking and highly collectible signed vintage folk art ceramic set by Luci Ellyn, dating to the late 20th century, circa 1980s–1990s. This expressive studio pottery duo features a hand painted cat-shaped platter and matching bowl rendered in bold black and white with vivid red accents, including a perched bird and flowing ribbon motif that brings a sense of movement and narrative charm.

The sculptural forms are thoughtfully designed, with the platter depicting a standing cat and the bowl echoing a curled resting figure, allowing the two pieces to nest beautifully together for both functional use and elevated display. Each piece is individually hand rendered with fluid brushwork and subtle asymmetry, hallmarks of authentic studio pottery that give the set a one-of-a-kind artistic presence.

The underside inscriptions, including “Happy ‘Bird’ Day!” and “I’m an Angel Now!”, enhance the storytelling quality and further affirm its handmade origin, making this not simply serveware but a piece of expressive ceramic art. It sits comfortably at the intersection of collectible folk art and whimsical interior décor, appealing to both seasoned collectors and those drawn to playful, curated spaces.

The palette—crisp black and white with saturated red accents—makes this an especially strong styling piece, easily integrated into Eclectic Whimsy interiors, Palm Beach-inspired kitchens, or layered maximalist displays.
