Decorative ornament (2) - Italy - Dog sculpture

Coppia di sculture in ceramica smaltata bianca con finiture dorate raffiguranti Cocker Spaniel e Collie – metà XX secolo ⸻ Descrizione (Italiano) Elegante coppia di sculture decorative raffiguranti cani, realizzate in ceramica smaltata bianca con raffinate finiture dorate applicate a mano. Le figure, di gusto classico e di notevole presenza scenica, rappresentano due differenti razze canine: un Cocker Spaniel, riconoscibile per il lungo mantello ondulato e le tipiche orecchie pendenti, e un Collie (tipo Rough Collie), caratterizzato da un profilo slanciato, muso affusolato ed espressione attenta e vigile. La qualità esecutiva si distingue per l’accurata resa del pelo, modellato con profondità e movimento: morbido e fluente nel Cocker Spaniel, più strutturato e ordinato nel Collie. Le decorazioni dorate, applicate su dettagli quali orecchie, muso, zampe e coda, creano un raffinato contrasto con la superficie candida della ceramica, conferendo luminosità ed eleganza all’insieme. Gli occhi, finemente dipinti, donano ulteriore espressività e realismo alle figure. Le sculture sono cave internamente, secondo la tecnica tipica delle produzioni decorative del XX secolo, e presentano una base aperta. Lo stato di conservazione è buono, con lievi segni del tempo e minime usure alle dorature, coerenti con l’età e l’uso. Oggetti ideali per impreziosire ambienti classici, eclettici o di gusto retrò: perfetti su consolle, camini, librerie o ingressi, dove fungono da elementi decorativi di forte impatto visivo. Il loro stile richiama le manifatture europee della metà del Novecento, con influenze decorative tradizionali. Epoca: metà XX secolo (circa anni ’50–’70) Dimensioni (ciascuno): Altezza: 45 cm Larghezza: 14 cm Profondità: 26 cm ⸻ Title (English) Pair of white glazed ceramic dog sculptures with gilt accents depicting a Cocker Spaniel and a Collie – mid 20th century ⸻ Description (English) Elegant pair of decorative dog sculptures, crafted in white glazed ceramic with refined hand-applied gilt accents. Classical in style and visually striking, the figures represent two distinct breeds: a Cocker Spaniel, recognizable by its long, flowing coat and characteristic drooping ears, and a Collie (Rough Collie type), featuring a slender profile, elongated muzzle, and an alert, attentive expression. The craftsmanship stands out for its detailed rendering of the fur, sculpted with depth and movement: soft and flowing in the Spaniel, more structured and defined in the Collie. Gilded accents, applied to elements such as ears, muzzle, paws, and tail, create a refined contrast with the bright white ceramic surface, enhancing the overall elegance. The finely painted eyes add further realism and character to both figures. The sculptures are hollow, as typical of 20th-century decorative ceramic production, and feature open bases. The overall condition is good, with minor signs of age and light wear to the gilding, consistent with time and use. Ideal for classical, eclectic, or vintage-style interiors, perfect for display on consoles, mantelpieces, bookshelves, or entrance halls, where they serve as decorative accents of strong visual presence. Their aesthetic recalls mid-20th-century European manufacture with traditional decorative influences. Period: mid-20th century (circa 1950s–1970s) Dimensions (each): Height: 45 cm Width: 14 cm Depth: 26 cm
