Description from the seller

This is a fascinating black-and-white ceramic leopard sitting, a classic interior design piece that recalls Italian artisanal craftsmanship from the 1960s and 1970s.
​Here is a detailed description:
​Aesthetic Features
Subject and Pose: The animal is depicted in a proud and elegant pose, seated on its hind legs with its torso upright. The head is slightly turned upward, giving it a vigilant and noble air.
Coat and Color: The ceramic base is a glossy, bright white. The fur (or coat) is adorned with a series of irregular black spots ranging from solid dots to rosette shapes on the hips, typical of large felines.
Face Details: The eyes are a deep blue, creating a strong color contrast with the black-and-white body.
The nose is finished in ochre/orange tones, adding a warm color touch.
Mouth and Whiskers: The mouth and whisker details are hinted at with millimetric precision.
Material and Craftsmanship
Material: It is glazed ceramic; the finish is extremely reflective, suggesting the use of a high-quality display cabinet typical of artistic productions.
Style: These objects were luxury icons in the 1970s and today are vintage pieces highly sought after by mid-century modern collectors.

The statue exudes a sense of exotic elegance. Despite the subject’s predatory nature, the features are rendered in a nearly sweet and decorative way, making it a striking yet harmonious interior accent.
