Leopard, Italian sculpture in glazed ceramic.

Superb decorative ceramic sculpture depicting a seated leopard with an open mouth, expressive gaze, and remarkable presence. This piece stands out for the quality of its modelling, the liveliness of the expression, and the finesse of the hand-painted decoration. The glossy glaze, in warm tones of yellow, ochre, black, and cream, highlights the volumes and gives the whole a strong sculptural dimension. The treatment of the spots, done by hand, gives each piece a unique character. Origin: Italy. Italian production from the mid-20th century (1960s–70s), with an embossed “Made in Italy” mark under the base, confirming its provenance.
