Description from the seller
Large Black Panther on Tree Trunk – 1960s -Jema Holland
A striking and highly collectible mid-century ceramic sculpture by Jema Holland, depicting a powerful black panther poised on a naturalistic tree trunk. Executed in the iconic 1960s style, this impressive decorative object features Jema’s famous metallic lustre glaze with deep iridescent oil-slick reflections in shades of blue, purple, bronze, and black.
The dynamic composition and elegant elongated form make this piece a true eye-catcher, strongly reflecting the bold decorative language of Mid-Century Modern and Space Age interiors. The contrast between the shimmering panther and the softly glazed tree trunk base gives the sculpture exceptional visual depth and presence.
Produced by the renowned Dutch ceramic factory Jema Holland in Maastricht, known for its high-quality artistic pottery and animal sculptures, this model is commonly identified as model no. 328 and remains one of their most sought-after panther designs.
A superb collector’s piece with strong decorative impact.
