1950s Orientalist Ceramic Italian Figure of a boy on an Elephant by Sica

About the Item

This captivating 1950s Italian ceramic figure, signed Sica " Società Italiana Ceramica Artistica ", presents a dynamic and exquisitely detailed scene. The piece depicts a slender figure of a boy seated atop a majestic elephant with its trunk raised high. The ceramic boasts a beautiful, iridescent glaze, particularly noticeable on the elephant's hide, which shimmers with subtle metallic hints of grey and bronze. Delicate gold accents further highlight the contours and details, such as the tips of the elephant's tusks and feet, and the headpiece of the rider. The figure's nuanced expression and the spirited pose of the elephant capture a sense of adventure and elegance, making this a truly distinctive and artistic representation from the mid-century Italian ceramic tradition. The figure is in lovely vintage condition.
