Amico Wachtmeister Goebel Reclining Cat Sculpture Vintage German Art (0031-26)

Curated Amico Wachtmeister reclining cat sculpture by Goebel, crafted in Germany with bold blue, black, and gold modernist detailing. This vintage Amico Wachtmeister reclining cat sculpture was produced by Goebel of Germany as part of the artist’s modern ceramic animal series. Known for stylized forms and expressive color blocking, Wachtmeister’s designs blend playful character with clean, contemporary lines. The sculpture features a relaxed reclining pose with an elongated body, sharply angled head, and distinctive painted detailing. The surface displays layered cobalt blue brushwork, matte black accents, hand-applied gold striping on the tail, and a softly patterned pale blue chest motif. The face is asymmetrically decorated in gold, white, blue, and warm rust tones, a hallmark of Wachtmeister’s late-20th-century aesthetic. This piece is not individually titled, which is consistent with Goebel’s production of larger Amico animal figures during the circa 1998–2004 period. Identification is based on the Goebel oval mark, Amico signature, and form characteristics. A striking display piece for collectors of Goebel, modern European ceramics, or whimsical animal sculpture, this cat works equally well styled on shelving, sideboards, or curated vignettes.
