AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Pair of glazed porcelain greyhounds – cobalt blue base with gold trim – Art Deco style – 20th century
Description
Elegant pair of glazed porcelain greyhounds, depicted lying on molded bases, characterized by slender, refined lines that recall the decorative taste of the Art Deco era.
The figures present a stylized yet harmonious rendering, with elongated bodies, tapered muzzles, and a proud posture typical of the greyhound, a subject much loved in early 20th-century decorative art. The color contrast between the white body with orange gradient and the deep cobalt blue base, embellished with a gold trim, gives a strong visual impact and great elegance.
The pair, designed as a symmetric element, is perfect for display on a shelf, console, or bookcase, adding a sophisticated and timeless touch to the room.
Highly sought-after decorative objects, both for aesthetics and subject matter, especially appreciated in 20th-century decorative ceramics collecting.
