About the Item

Large handcrafted black ceramic cat sculpture from the mid-20th century, in the style of Vallauris and Bitossi, with whimsical modernist charm. A striking large ceramic sculpture of a seated cat, handcrafted in the mid-20th century. With its playful expression, rounded body, and stylized features, the piece perfectly reflects the charm and creativity of postwar studio ceramics. Executed in a deep black glaze with reddish-brown and green accents to the eyes, ears, and paws, the sculpture combines modernist design with a touch of folk art warmth. The naïve yet elegant modeling recalls the whimsical ceramic animals produced in Vallauris (France), Bitossi (Italy), and various Scandinavian workshops during the 1950s–1970s, when animal figures were celebrated as decorative icons of modern living. Dimensions: Height 35 cm (13.8"), Width 24 cm (9.4"), Depth 17 cm (6.7") Material: Handcrafted ceramic, hollow inside Condition: Good vintage condition with minor wear, small imperfections, and surface variations consistent with age and handmade production This large mid-century cat sculpture is more than a decorative accent – it is a unique, characterful piece of artistry that brings humor, warmth, and style into any interior.
