Italian mid‑20th‑century ceramic sculpture titled Giaguaro, depicting a seated leopard with glossy glaze, signed and made in Italy by Bassano del Grappa artisans; 91 cm high, 51 cm wide, 91 cm deep, 14 kg.
Description from the seller
This is a splendid ceramic sculpture depicting a leopard in a seated position, a classic of interior design inspired by Hollywood Regency and the 70s/80s.
Here is a detailed description of the object:
Aesthetic Characteristics
Subject: The feline is portrayed in a proud and composed pose, seated on its hind legs with the torso upright. The gaze is directed slightly to the side, granting the statue a vigilant and noble air.
Muzzle details: The eyes are a vivid, piercing green, outlined by a black line that enhances expressiveness. The nose is pinkish with defined nostrils, and the mouth is emphasized by a bold black line.
Coat and Decoration: The pattern features a creamy base that fades into a warm and vibrant orange on the muzzle and along the back. The rosettes are hand-painted with deep black; they are denser and smaller on the head, widening and becoming more sparse and circular on the body.
Quality and Style
Material: High-quality glazed ceramic with a glossy finish that reflects light, emphasizing the sinuous curves of the animal's body.
Style: Italian mid-20th-century artistic productions, particularly those of famous artisanal manufactories of Bassano del Grappa. It is a "statement" piece, capable of drawing attention in any environment.
Dimensions: 91 cm in height, an imposing statue
Possible use
A piece like this is perfect for:
Eclectic Furnishings: Beside an exotic plant (such as a Monstera or a palm).
Entries: Placed on the floor to welcome guests with elegance.
Collecting: For lovers of vintage "Made in Italy" ceramics
