Sculpture, Scultura di Putto Alato sdraiato su Cuscino Capitonné (Circa anni '20-'30) - 18.5 cm - Craquelé Glazed Majolica

Refined sculpture depicting a winged putto reclining on a relief-decorated cushion with capitonné motifs and tassels on the corners. The work is made in glazed ceramic/majolica in a monochrome cream-white color, with a suggestive and extensive craquelé effect (craquelure of the glaze) distributed uniformly over the entire surface, typical of period works.

The figure shows an excellent rendering of details: the curls of the hair, the definition of the feathers on the wings, and the softness of the anatomical forms recall classical Neoclassical models revived between the early 20th century and the Art Deco period.

At the bottom there are the typical vintage vent holes for firing and a reinforced ribbed structure. Although there are no visible signatures, the workmanship, glaze quality, and the base confirm the date as an antique (early 20th century).
