Oversized Vintage Persian Cat Basket – Lidded Ceramic Storage Vessel

Whimsical, wonderfully detailed, and surprisingly functional, this large vintage ceramic cat basket features two fluffy Persian-style cats nestled together atop a beautifully sculpted woven basket. Their expressive blue-gray eyes, tiny pink noses, and dimensional fur give this piece so much personality.

While pieces like this were traditionally sold as cookie jars, we love it even more as a decorative lidded storage vessel. The generously sized basket makes it both useful and beautiful enough to leave on display.

Use it to hold yarn and small knitting projects, sewing notions, embroidery supplies, ribbons and trims, fabric scraps, craft supplies, stationery, keepsakes, or even a collection of cat toys. It would also be charming on a dressing table filled with hair accessories, scarves, or other everyday treasures.

Styled on an open shelf, beside a favorite chair with your current needlework project tucked inside, or incorporated into a collected cottage or grandmillennial interior, this is one of those vintage pieces that’s as much a conversation starter as it is storage.
