John Renaker set up the first kiln by running a garden hose from the family's gas stove. Maxine Renaker was the first designer and salesperson. But, after successfully selling their first pieces, they found they could not produce them. John Renaker's Mom, Moss Renaker, worked for a pottery in Monrovia called Walker Potteries. Her boss, Joe Walker, agreed to teach John about the pottery business. Maxine's Dad, Ole Hagen, agreed to build the young couple their first factory. Ole who was a carpenter by trade, went to Oregon to get a load of lumber at wholesale cost and he and his brother, Arne worked every weekend for months to build a combination factory and apartment. In gratitude, John and Maxine named their new company Hagen-Renaker. So, on Easter Sunday, 1946, the family and their fledgling company moved to Monrovia. The company first produced elaborately decorated plates and butter pats and shadow boxes. They were selling well but there were difficulties with them related to firing and shipping. John Renaker noticed a small duck that Maxine had on her work bench. She was a Camp Fire Girl leader, and she had designed it for the kids. He saw potential in it and put it on the bottom of the company's order sheet. When he saw how it sold, he decided to change direction and produce small figurines. Very soon they had transformed Helen Perrin from a decorator into a designer, and she was joined by Maureen Love, Nell Bortells, Tom Masterson, and Will Climes. John and Maxine were able to recognize artistic excellence and based their business on these talented designers. The company has had this tradition and continues it today. Maureen Love Calvert and Helen Perrin Farnlund provided a majority of the items to the line. Bob McGuinness still provides design services for a large part of our newer items. ## Features - Papa Cat #454 Designer: Helen Perrin Farnlund Issued: Fall 1959 and intermittantly to the Present Height: 2-1/4" Tall - Playful Kitty #436 Designer: Helen Perrin Farnlund Issued: Fall 1960 to the Present Height: 7/8" Tall - Hand crafted in California since the 1940s. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0118JLLJK | | Are Batteries Required | No | | Brand | Hagen Renaker Ceramics | | Brand Name | Hagen Renaker Ceramics | | Cartoon Character | Cat | | Color | Black, White | | Customer Reviews | 5.0 out of 5 stars 1 Review | | Manufacturer | Hagen Renaker Ceramics | | Material | Ceramic | | Material Type | Ceramic | | Model Number | 454 and 436 | | Number of Items | 2 | | Number of Pieces | 2 | | Occasion | Easter | | Shape | Cat | | Specific Uses For Product | Garden | | character | Cat | ## Images ![Hagen Renaker Black and White Papa and Kitten Set of 2 Hand-Crafted Ceramic Figurines - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41Hg4OROTyL.jpg) ![Hagen Renaker Black and White Papa and Kitten Set of 2 Hand-Crafted Ceramic Figurines - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31e5PC-IF2L.jpg) ![Hagen Renaker Black and White Papa and Kitten Set of 2 Hand-Crafted Ceramic Figurines - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31bDqqi22VL.jpg) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/24579373-hagen-renaker-black-and-white-papa-and-kitten-set-2](https://www.desertcart.us/products/24579373-hagen-renaker-black-and-white-papa-and-kitten-set-2) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
