This box figurine is the concept of Robin Davis, winner of
the House of Peers' 2001 Design A Jest Contest.
A group of kittens have discovered a new toy – a toilet.
The back of the bathroom fixture is inscribed with the name of its legendary inventor,
Thomas Crapper. A newspaper, essential reading, can be seen tucked down the
back of the loo. The mouse, including a rare view
of his bottom, is hidden away in the tissue. On the lid is
the inscription AD4 NYY3, referring to the Arizona Diamondback’s
four games to three win over the New York Yankees in the 2001 World Series.
The interior of the Version One shows two alligators, in reference to
the urban myths of alligators breeding in the sewers.
The Version Infinity interior shows another cat in the bowl in place of the alligators.
2.64" wide, 2" long and 3.14" high.
As with any hand-tinted product,
item received will be similar but unique.
