Statue, Leopardo - 60 cm - Ceramic

This statue is a classic example of artistic decorative ceramic, Italian craftsmanship in the style of Bassano or the famous pieces dating from the mid-20th century (the 1960s/1970s).
Here is a detailed, point-by-point description:
1. Subject and Pose
The sculpture depicts a leopard seated on its hind legs. The animal is portrayed in an aggressive or warning stance: its mouth is open in a roar, showing the teeth, pronounced canines, and tongue. The gaze looks slightly upward, giving it a proud and dynamic presence.
2. Colors and Decoration
The piece stands out for an unusual, stylized coloring:
Base color: The body is not the classic yellow-gold, but features a shade that shifts from cream white to pink/purple (particularly noticeable on the snout, chest, and along the back).
Spots: The spots are deep black, distributed irregularly but harmoniously. 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 eye color, a vivid acidic/yellow-green, contrasting with the pinkish tones of the snout.
3. Material and Finish
Material: Glazed ceramic
Finish: The surface features a highly reflective glossy glaze that enhances the sculpture's curves and gives it a luxurious and “pop” appearance.
4. Style and Placement
These giant sculptures (often called “Hollywood Regency” or “Mid-Century Modern”) were iconic pieces for entrances of mansions or elegant living rooms between the 1960s and 1980s. Today they are highly sought-after collectible items for maximalist or vintage interiors.
