    This piece I couldn't find any extact or even really closely a same design ,so this is Rare variety !
    The lucky waving cat originated in EDO period Japan in the 19th C.
    All other smaller waving lucky cats 1 plastic &2 plaster cm photos are not included in sale !!
    These are for perspective not included in sale ..
    This Vintage Menki Neko Lucky waving cat ,looks to be from the. 1970',s or 60's
    But ,this a guess ,I couldn't find any exactly or signed on Google search engine . So my date is approx .and guestimate .even though I have sold Japanese art & collectables for 30 yrs .along with Global antiques & collectables .
