Hello Kymee,
I’m very glad that you chose Mearto for your online appraisal,
Considering the photographs, overall pattern, porcelain quality and the colours, I concluded that this is an Entirely Hand Painted Chinese Cat Figurine. The piece dates back to the period from 1960 to 1970. The mark underneath the piece says "Da Qing Jiaqing Nian Zhi" which translates "Great Qing Jiaqing period made", which was originally between 1796-1820. Of course this piece does not belong to the original period but it was a reproduction likely from Hong Kong or Macau. The piece is poorly painted and the details as well as quality are not of high qulity. Unglazed base. The piece is in good condition without any visible problems.
Entirely hand painted.
Dimensions: 21 Inches Tall by 6-8 Inches Wide
Condition: The piece is in good condition without any visible problems.
