Germany is recognized worldwide as home to one of the most creative toy-making industries in Europe. It is not a surprise that puppetry is also very strong and has been part of their vibrant culture for hundreds of years. The brand iKünstlerpuppe (Artistic Dolls) is a great example of this elaborate style of early hand puppets once produced in the German Democratic Republic (GDR).
This Cat hand puppet was created in the Curt Meißner workshop circa 1960s and is beautifully handcrafted from artsilk plush. A true labour of love that makes each puppet unique! Its lovely expression with glass eyes is very eye-catching. Animal puppets by this brand are rare. Don't miss the opportunity to add this sweet Cat puppet to your vintage toy collection!
