Description
At the Saturday market in Honfleur, the fishmonger had a rival, and her name was Minou. A pale Siamese with sapphire eyes, she appeared at his stall every week at precisely ten o’clock, sat with her tail curled around her paws and stared at him until he gave in. He pretended to be annoyed, but he always saved her the smallest sardine, and she always carried it off as if she had caught it herself. The other cats of the harbour knew better than to compete. She never once said thank you.
This box has all of Minou’s self-assurance. The Siamese sits tall with her prize, cream coat and dark points rendered by hand, looking thoroughly pleased with herself. Choose it for a cat lover, a friend who has just adopted a Siamese, or anyone who keeps a collection of feline figurines on the windowsill. It also makes a gentle remembrance for someone who has lost a cherished companion and wants a piece that feels full of life. The cool cream and chocolate tones look especially elegant on a dark wood shelf.
