     First I would not consider it junk, may cat figurine collectors out there would pay something for it.  Not sure what it is made of, looks like heavy glazed pottery from here.  Like someone took a mold, filled it with Terra cotta and glazed and glazed and then glazed it again.  Is it solid and heavy?, or is it hollow. Personally I would place it on a shelf if you like the looks of it, if not give or sell it to a cat loving friend for a couple of dollars.  Without any marking history would almost be impossible to tell.  Since it was your grandfathers you can at least establish a min. age.  Sorry I can't be more help.  I think it is kinda cool looking anyway.

 :)Iron lord is correct. it's called redware due to the fact they used red clay it's showing some age. and may even be english.if it could be attributed to pennsyvania. we could be thinking, some $$$$$$

Firstly thanks for the info however I do not want it and was wondering if I were to sell it where would be the best place to sell it as my house is very busy with children and wouldnt want it broken but would like some1 to look after it.
