Zebra ceramic sculpture with a high-gloss glaze, made in Italy, signed and in excellent condition, measuring 32 cm wide, 27 cm high and 18 cm deep.
Description from the seller
This is a glazed ceramic sculpture depicting a zebra in a lying (crouched) position, characterized by a naturalistic style but with an extremely glossy finish.
Here is a detailed description of the object:
Esthetic Characteristics
Subject: A zebra portrayed in a moment of rest. The posture is elegant, with the neck slightly arched and the head turned toward the observer, which gives the figure a sense of vitality and attention.
Decoration: The coat presents the classic white and black striped pattern. The lines are not rigid, but follow harmoniously the musculature and curves of the animal's body, with a soft shading ("airbrushed") between the two colors that avoids sharp, artificial contrasts.
Details: The eyes are carefully painted, showing an amber iris that adds realism to the piece. The details of the ears and muzzle are delicately molded.
Materials and Finish
Material: High-quality Italian ceramic.
Finish: A high-gloss glaze that reflects ambient light, emphasizing the roundness of the forms.
Style and Placement
The work recalls the excellence of mid-20th century production, the tradition of the great artistic ceramic manufactories, that Italian Bassano, with which it is signed.
It is a decorative piece with a strong visual impact, perfect for:
- Rooms in an Eclectic or Hollywood Regency style.
- Collectors of animal-themed ceramics (animalier).
- Being placed as a central piece on a sideboard or a low table.
