Statue, Leopardo - 60 cm - Ceramic

This statue is a classic example of decorative artistic ceramic, of Italian craftsmanship in the style of Bassano or the famous ones dating back to the mid-20th century (the 60s/70s).
​Here is a detailed description divided into key points:
​1. Subject and Pose
​The sculpture depicts a leopard seated on its hind legs. The animal is portrayed in an aggressive or warning stance: the mouth is open in a roar, showing the teeth, pronounced canines, and tongue. The gaze is directed slightly upward, giving a proud and dynamic presence.
​2. Colors and Decoration
​The piece stands out for an unusual and stylized coloration:
​Base color: The body is not in the classic yellow-gold, but features a shade ranging from cream white to pink/purple (particularly visible on the snout, chest, and along the back).
​Spots: The spots are deep black, distributed irregularly but harmoniously. On the face there are small dots, while on the body they become larger and oval, imitating the natural pattern of the feline.
​Eyes: A striking detail is the color of the eyes, a vivid acid green/yellowish, contrasting with the pinkish tones of the snout.
​3. Material and Finish
​Material: Glazed ceramic
​Finish: The surface features a very reflective glossy glaze, which enhances the curves of the sculpture and gives it a luxurious and "pop" appearance.

​4. Style and Placement
​These giant sculptures (often called "Hollywood Regency" or "Mid-Century Modern") were iconic pieces for the entrances of villas or elegant living rooms between the 60s and 80s. Today they are highly sought-after collectibles for maximalist or vintage décor.
