Description from the seller
This is a glazed ceramic sculpture depicting a zebra in a lying-down (crouched) position, characterized by a naturalistic style but with an extremely glossy finish.
Here is a detailed description of the object:
Aesthetic Characteristics
Subject: A zebra portrayed in a moment of rest. The posture is elegant, with the neck slightly arched and the head turned toward the observer, which gives the figure a sense of vitality and attentiveness.
Decoration: The coat features the classic pattern of white and black stripes. The lines are not rigid, but follow harmoniously the musculature and curves of the animal's body, with a soft shading ("airbrushed") between the two colors that avoids sharp and artificial separations.
Details: The eyes are carefully painted, showing an amber iris that adds realism to the piece. The details of the ears and the snout are shaped delicately.
Materials and Finish
Material: High-quality Italian ceramic.
Finish: A high-gloss glaze that reflects ambient light, emphasizing the roundness of the forms.
Style and Placement
The work recalls the excellence of mid-20th-century production, the tradition of the great artistic ceramic manufactories, that Italian Bassano with which it is signed
It is a furnishing piece with a strong visual impact, perfect for:
- Rooms in Eclectic or Hollywood Regency style.
- Animal-themed ceramic collectors (animalier).
- Being positioned as a central piece on a sideboard or a low coffee table.
