Lead crystal has a feel all its own. This lovely pair of cats has that wonderful feel of real lead crystal. They are extremely clear and both have bright expressions, just asking you to turn them up side down and shake their contents out! Sitting cat is approximately 3.5" tall. Easy filling and emptying through large opening in bottom of both. Because they are made by the Gorham Company in Germany, you know they'll last longer than a real kitty cat.
