Roberto Rigon - R.Rigon - Figure - Leone - Ceramic

Ceramic little animal by Roberto Rigon (Lion) from the 70s–80s
Statue in the brilliant interpretation by Roberto Rigon.
Artist, painter and ceramist from Veneto, born in 1929, who recently passed away, still active in his nineties.
Normally these statuettes are dated to the 1970s; however I think this one is from the 1980s (after 1989 the marking would be modified).
Relief-marked RR on the underside of the belly.
Dimensions: height 16 cm, length 32 cm, depth 13 cm. Weight about 800 g.
The condition is good to very good, with no visible cracks or chips. Excellent luster.
