Statue, Leopardo - 60 cm - Ceramic

This statue is a classic example of decorative art ceramic, Italian-made in the style of Bassano or of the famous 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 the 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 that shifts from cream white to pink/mauve (particularly visible on the snout, chest and along the back).
Spots: The spots are deep black, irregular but harmonious in distribution. On the face they 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 that contrasts with the pinkish tones of the snout.
3. Material and Finish
Material: Glazed ceramic
Finish: The surface features a very glossy glaze, highly reflective, which accentuates the sculpture's curves and gives it a luxurious and "pop" look.
4. Style and Setting
This type of giant sculptures (often called "Hollywood Regency" or "Mid-Century Modern") were iconic pieces for entrances of villas or elegant living rooms between the '60s and '80s. Today they are highly sought-after collectibles for maximalist or vintage decor.
