Statue, Leopardo ruggente - 50 cm - Earthenware

Vintage Terracotta Glazed Statue – Roaring Leopard (Made in Italy)
​Splendid and expressive vintage sculpture in glazed majolica terracotta, depicting a seated roaring leopard (or cheetah). A classic of Mid-Century interior design and Hollywood Regency, characterized by a strong stage presence and an eclectic, characterful style.
​The work is entirely finished and hand-painted, with the typical crazed glaze crackle effect that gives the piece the authentic charm of vintage objects.
​ Main Features:
​Material: Glazed Terracotta
​Origin: 100% Made in Italy (features the double raw-stamped mark on the inner base).
​Lavorazione: Hand-painted with great care in the detail of the spotted coat and the expression of the face.
​Stile: Vintage, Boho-Chic, Hollywood Regency.
​Condition of the item (Read carefully):
​The statue is in good overall vintage condition, with vivid colors and a beautiful gloss of the glaze.
​Transparency note: As clearly visible from the close-up photos, the statue has the tip of one of the upper canines missing (broken tooth). Being terracotta, the defect blends into the piece's "lived-in" look, but the price takes this imperfection into account. No other cracks or structural restorations are noticeable.
​Shipping and Packaging:
​Aware of the delicacy of terracotta, I guarantee bomb-proof packaging: I use sturdy boxes, multiple layers of bubble wrap, and filling material to ensure the feline arrives at your home perfectly intact. Tracked and fast shipping.
Note: shipping only within Italy; we do not ship abroad!!!!!!!
