Set of 8 Persis Kirsans Decorative Cat Collector Plates

A group of eight circular decorative collector plates featuring artwork of cats and kittens, primarily attributed to the artist Persis Kirsans for the Danbury Mint or Bradley Exchange. Each plate measures approximately 8 inches in diameter and is constructed of high-fire porcelain with a gilded gold-toned rim. The artwork is rendered in a soft, realistic illustrative style typical of the late 1980s or 1990s, featuring various feline breeds such as Siamese, tabbies, and fluffy white cats in domestic settings—often paired with elements like floral baskets, yarn, teddy bears, and flower pots. The color palette is composed of muted pastels, dusty pinks, creams, and earthy brown tones. Each plate is held by a four-pronged brass-finish wire wall hanger. While the backstamps are not visible in this image, this series typically includes a unique firing number and artist signature within the transfer-ware decal. The condition appears to be excellent with no visible chips, cracks, or significant wear to the gold trim, suggesting they have been used primarily for display. The craftsmanship is consistent with mass-produced collectible porcelain of the late 20th century, targeted at enthusiasts of animal art and cozy home decor.
