Statue, Leopardo - 60 cm - Ceramic

This statue is a classic example of artistic decorative ceramics, Italian craftsmanship in the style of Bassano or the famous pieces dating 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 stance: the mouth is open in a roar, exposing the teeth, the pronounced canines and the tongue. The gaze is directed slightly upward, giving it 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 leaning from cream white to pink/mauve (particularly visible on the face, chest, and along the back).
Spots: The spots are a deep black, irregular but harmonious in distribution. 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 eye color, a vivid acid green/yellowish hue, which contrasts with the pinkish tones of the muzzle.
3. Material and Finish
Material: Glazed ceramic
Finish: The surface features a very glossy glaze, highly reflective, which accentuates the sculpture's curves and gives it a luxurious and "pop" appearance.
4. Style and Placement
This type of giant sculpture (often called "Hollywood Regency" or "Mid-Century Modern") was iconic for entrances to villas or elegant living rooms between the 60s and 80s. Today they are highly sought-after collectible items for maximalist or vintage decor.
