Ceramic sculpture Leopardo bianco e nero, glazed ceramic, signed, in excellent condition, seated pose, 51 cm wide by 91 cm high by 91 cm deep, made in Italy as a piece of Italian artisanal design from the 1960s–70s.
Description from the seller
This is a fascinating black-and-white ceramic leopard in a seated position, a classic interior design piece that evokes Italian artisanal craftsmanship from the 1960s and 1970s.
Here is a detailed description:
Aesthetic Characteristics
Subject and Pose: The animal is depicted in a proud and elegant pose, seated on its hind legs with its torso upright. The head is slightly turned upward, giving it a vigilant and noble air.
Coat and Color: The base of the ceramic is a glossy, brilliant white. The plumage (or coat) is decorated with a series of irregular black spots ranging from solid dots to "rosette" shapes on the hips, typical of big cats.
Facial Details: The eyes are a deep blue, creating a strong color contrast with the black-and-white body.
The nose is finished in an ochre/orange shade, adding a warm touch of color.
The details of the mouth and whiskers are rendered with millimetric precision.
Material and Manufacture
Material: This is glazed ceramic; the finish is extremely reflective, which suggests the use of a high-quality display case typical of artistic productions.
Style: These objects were luxury icons in the 1970s and today are vintage pieces highly sought after by mid-century modern collectors.
The statue exudes a sense of exotic elegance. Despite the predator's nature of the subject, the features are rendered in a nearly sweet and decorative way, making it a striking yet harmonious interior accessory.
