Large Jema Zander Fish No 359

There's something fishy about this. It reminds me of something but I'm finding it hard to plaice!

This is a very large Zander at 16 inches long. Zander is related to the perch family. As you may already know it's made by Jema in Holland. The lustre is typical of Jema, however, there are items from the far east that look similar. The faint impressed backstamp on the base reads: 'Jema Holland 359'.

Cheeky Art Deco Cat

This cat, although it's very much in the style of Shorter & Sons, isn't made by Clarice Cliff. The glaze/slip decoration was done by many other companies. (with thanks to the members of the Clarice Cliff forum).
As of yet I have been unable to identify it, especially as it has no marks on it at all.

I'm not sure if it's a napkin holder as it's quite big, and it's too light for a bookend. It has a very Art Deco/comical style, and looks almost as cheeky as me when I'm eating someone elses chocolate Hobnobs.

Come back to me after you've seen another the same as I'd love to see another one (same goes with chocolate hobnobs)...
