Leopard ceramic sculptural piece from Italy in a mid‑century style, glazed with a glossy finish, measuring 60 cm high by 30 cm wide by 26 cm deep and signed.
Description from the seller
This statue is a classic example of artistic decorative ceramic, of Italian manufacture in the style of Bassano or the famous ones dating back to the mid-20th century (the 60s/70s).
Here is a detailed description divided into key points:
1. Subject and Pose
The sculpture depicts a leopard seated on its hind legs. The animal is portrayed in an aggressive or warning posture: the mouth is open in a roar, showing teeth, pronounced canines, and tongue. The gaze is directed slightly upward, giving a proud and dynamic presence.
2. Colors and Decoration
The piece stands out for an unusual and stylized coloration:
Base color: The body is not the classic yellow-gold, but features a shade ranging from cream white to pink/purple (particularly visible on the face, chest, and along the back).
Spots: The spots are deep black, distributed irregularly but harmoniously. On the face there 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 color of the eyes, an acid/greenish-yellow very vivid, contrasting with the pinkish tones of the muzzle.
3. Material and Finish
Material: Glazed ceramic
Finish: The surface features a very reflective glossy glaze, which accentuates the curves of the sculpture and gives it a luxurious and "pop" appearance.
4. Style and Placement
This type of giant sculptures (often called "Hollywood Regency" or "Mid-Century Modern") were iconic pieces for entrances of villas or elegant living rooms between the 60s and 80s. Today they are highly sought-after collectible items for maximalist or vintage interiors.
