AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A splendid lot consisting of four vintage glazed ceramic sculptures, hand-finished, depicting different animal subjects in characteristic poses and dynamics. The objects feature a glossy finish of excellent quality typical of artistic craftsmanship from the second half of the 20th century.
1. English Bulldog lying down: A small statue in the foreground depicting a bulldog in a relaxed supine pose, characterized by expressive facial features, a white coat with brown patches, height about 12 cm, length about 27 cm.
2. Crouching Cheetah/Leopard: Sculpture on the left side, finely decorated with the classic contrasting spotted pattern on an ochre background, captured in a pouncing or playful pose with jaws half-open, height about 17 cm.
3. Saint Bernard seated: Central figure depicting a Saint Bernard in a seated position with the typical rescue canteen (barrel) hanging from the collar. Height 22 cm.
4. Black Panther/Cheetah: Small statue on the right side, elegant reproduction of a large melanistic feline in a dynamic pose, finished with a high-gloss black glaze with high reflection. Height about 17 cm.
Made in glazed ceramic or majolica in the second half of the 20th century.
Excellent overall visual condition, glossy glaze and vivid colors. Good condition with minimal signs of time and wear.
