This  is  a charming authentic original collector piece  by Merri Roderick for the Bradford Exchange.  “Sweet Solace” is the fourth issue in the Purrfectly at Home Collection. This is a 3D Sculptural Kitty Plate.

“The fluttering wings of a darting butterfly surely are the only thing that could possibly have gotten this pampered kitten to leave her snuggly nest on the homemade patchwork quilt. With daylight to warm it and a fresh breeze to air it, this chamber looks like a restful haven where human and feline alike would get a very refreshing sleep.” (The Bradford Exchange official description on the back of the Certificate of Authenticity)
