brayton laguna catFinal report, Saturday, June 8: Congratulations to Kristin, Jenny, and Margie — our three winners, all confirmed! Thanks, everyone, for playing! ENTRIES NOW CLOSED.

It’s giveaway time — and this time, there will be three winners! Once I started talking with the owner of Bauer Pottery about the mid mod mad Brayton Laguna cats the company is now making from original 1960s molds, it seemed like a no-brainer that a giveaway would follow. And indeed, Bauer Pottery is generously offering to send one of these sleek sculptures to three winners. Choose your color!

After my initial story Bauer Pottery asked if they could send me a cat, and I accepted the gift so that I I could check it out and photograph it in a room setting for this giveaway. I think the cat is scrumptious, and my husband saw it and was like, wow! As you can tell, I’m partial to the black. Thank you, Bauer 🙂

    I think the pink cat would look nice with the gray and burgundy tile in the bathroom.

    I just love cats! But the pottery cat looks just like one in a oriental picture I have. Looks mysterious & regal at the same time. I would love to display them in my 70’s ranch.

    I can just see this sophisticated green kitty perched among my retro bibs and bobs on my Drexel mid-century modern china cabinet.

    OMG!!! I would love the turquoise one! It would be absolutely perfect on my mantel !!!

    I would want the copper green cat. Due to the design of the cats, they can be displayed by an 1940’s radio or even on Victorian piece of furniture. It would look nice with my Victorian secretary desk. I like the flowing and simple design of the cats.

    Tough choice, but I’d have to go with copper green, closely followed by persimmon or satin pink. Any color cool cat would immediately find a place of honor in our Googie lounge–probably in one of the atomic shadow boxes!
