Statue, Mamma con cuccioli - 30 cm - Pottery

This ceramic sculpture is a classic example of artistic craftsmanship (of the Italian school) depicting a mother leopard with her two cubs.
Here is a detailed description of the work:
Composition and Pose
The scene is loaded with tenderness and dynamism. The mother is depicted lying down, with an elongated body serving as a protective "base" for the little ones.
The cub on the left is curled against the mother's shoulder, with its snout slightly tilted upward and a curious expression.
The cub on the right is in a more active, almost playful pose, with a front paw resting on the mother's back as if trying to climb or attract her attention.
The mother has a proud and vigilant gaze; her head is slightly raised and turned toward the viewer, conveying a sense of calm protective vigilance.
Details and Colors
The work is distinguished by a stylized realism, typical of mid-20th-century decorative ceramics:
Coat: The base is cream/ivory white, enriched by warm orange and ochre shades that fade toward the lighter belly. The spots (rosettes) are hand-painted with a rich black, distributed with precision to follow the animals' anatomy.
Look: The eyes are particularly expressive, rendered in a bright green hue with well-defined black pupils, giving life and depth to the gaze of the three felines.
Finish: The surface is fully glazed and glossy, creating strong light reflections (visible in the photos) that enhance the curves and musculature of the animals.
Technical Aspects
Material: Ceramic
Style: Hollywood Regency / Vintage 1960s-1970s. These large animal figures were central pieces in the luxury furniture of the era.
Conditions: From the images, the piece is in excellent condition, with the glaze's shine intact and the facial details (black noses, hint of mouths) very well defined.
