Rare Antique German Bisque Jointed Kitty parlor games This is lovely vintage slideOne certainly sees antique jointed bisque baby dolls around, but much rarer to find a cat this one German, circa 1890 or so I believe. From what I've learned there were a variety of jointed dogs and cats made in this manner, but they're quite scarce now, making them pretty valuable little things.
