20th Century Sculptural Ribbed Stone Object with Matching Plate

About the Item

A distinctive and weighty sculptural object from the 20th century, crafted from solid stone with a unique ribbed texture that encircles its rounded midsection. Tapering elegantly into a conical top, this abstract form exudes a primitive-modern sensibility, evocative of ancient vessel shapes with a distinctly contemporary edge. The piece is accompanied by its original matching plate or base, shaped with a low lip and wide surface that complements the form beautifully. Sculptural and enigmatic, the object is solid throughout and not hollow, making it ideal as a meditative desk piece, a decorative element in a minimalist interior, or as part of a curated art object display.

19th Century Italian Porcelain Greyhound
Located in Middleburg, VA
19th Century Italian Porcelain Greyhound. Beautifully sculpted with realistic facial expression. Made in Italy, circa 1890. 20" High 5" Wide 11.5" Deep A refined and beautifully sculpted Italian porcelain greyhound, dating to the late 19th century, circa 1890. Rendered in a luminous white glaze, this elegant figure captures the poised and slender form of a seated greyhound- likely an Italian Greyhound or Whippet- with remarkable anatomical precision and grace. The statue exudes quiet dignity and classical charm, with finely modeled musculature, delicately curled taiol, and expressive features, including black-painted eyes, nose, and claws that contrast subtly against the clean porcelain body. The naturalistic pose and attention to anatomical detail suggest influence from neoclassical and realist traditions, making it not only a decorative object but also a small sculptural work of art. Likely created in one of Italy's renowned porcelain ateliers of the period, this piece embodies the sophistication and craftsmanship typical of the Victorian-era Grand Tour aesthetic. A stunning addition to any interior vignette, mantelpiece, or cabinet of curiousities- ideal for collectors of antique Italian ceramics...
