Ceramic glazed "blanchon" seal statuette from Alcobaça – Portugal

Seal statuette (blanchon) in glossy white earthenware, an authentic creation from the workshops of Alcobaça (Portugal) dating from the 1970s. This iconic piece of Portuguese animal design from the *Mid-Century* period is distinguished by its fluid and streamlined lines, enhanced by an immaculate white glaze of great brilliance. Its unique charm lies in its gaze: large, raised eyes of a deep green (made of quality glass or plastic), typical of local productions from that decade. A very lovely character piece that will naturally find its place on a teak sideboard, a Scandinavian-style shelf, or at the heart of a quality vintage ceramics collection. Dimensions: Height: 11 cm. Length: 23 cm. Width: 12 cm. In good condition, with very small superficial traces of rubbing on the tip of the nose, and minute signs of use that are quite normal for its age, which in no way detract from the brilliance of its white coat or its overall aesthetic. Fast and careful shipping.
