Vintage hand-painted ceramic sculpture of a seated Collie dog, made in Italy around 1970, multicolour/beige, 33 x 45 x 15 cm, unsigned and in excellent condition.
Description from the seller
Beautiful vintage ceramic sculpture – Collie / Greyhound, hand-painted – from the 1960s/70s.
This fascinating and rare ceramic sculpture depicts an elegant seated Collie, rendered with extraordinary attention to detail in the coat, expression, and color nuances.
It is a vintage piece, probably made between the 1960s and 1970s, in a figurative realist style, typical of the great European manufactories of that era.
The dog features a richly modeled coat, with craftsmanship that creates a natural movement effect in the strands of hair. The coloring, entirely hand-done, fades from white to black, passing through the typical fulvous tones of the Collie, with a vivid and luminous appearance thanks to the glossy finish.
A striking decorative object, ideal for vintage ceramic collectors, dog lovers, or anyone seeking a unique and refined decorative element.
