Description from the seller
Vintage Mid-Century Majolica ceramic Capercaillie figurine – 1960s/1970s
Description:
A beautiful and highly decorative vintage ceramic figurine depicting a stylized capercaillie in a proud display posture.
This piece is a classic example of Mid-Century Modern zoomorphic art, dating back to the 1950s–1970s.
The figurine features an eye-catching reactive glaze (majolica/barbotine style) with rich shades of olive green, ochre, and metallic golden undertones.
The flowing glaze perfectly accentuates the deeply molded details of the feathers and the fanned-out tail.
The bird stands on an integrated, dark-glazed hexagonal plinth base.
Technical Details & Condition:
- Material: Fine white/cream ceramic earthenware.
- Manufacturing: Molded hollow-cast construction with an original airvent hole inside the base.
- Markings: Retains a partial red/brown circular export ink stamp inside the base, highly characteristic of mid-century Italian (e.g., Bassano/Albisola) or European art pottery workshops.
- Condition: In very good vintage condition with beautiful surface luster and typical age-related crazing to the glaze. No structural cracks. (Please inspect all high-resolution photos for exact cosmetic details).
An excellent addition for collectors of mid-century art pottery or anyone looking to add a touch of Hollywood Regency / Retro charm to their interior decor.
The product will be professionally packed and sent safely to your address by local post.
The pictures of the product are made with the highest possible resolution, precisely to capture possible small defects (small scratches, stains, defect), the pictures are part of the product description.
