About the Item
Italian Hollywood Regency Glazed Terracotta Leopard Cub, 1960s
A striking Italian glazed terracotta leopard cub, dating to the mid-20th century. Hand-molded and vividly hand-painted, this figure embodies the exotic glamour and playful presence of a young leopard in bold Hollywood Regency style.
The cub’s coat is finished in a brilliant yellow glaze with layered black and brown sponge-applied rosettes, contrasted by a cream chest and stylized facial features. A high-gloss overglaze enhances the depth of color, while the soulful almond-shaped eyes and alert pose give the piece both lifelike personality and decorative charm. The hollow terracotta body rests on an unfinished underside with later-applied green felt pads, a hallmark of Italian decorative ceramics from this period.
Produced circa the 1960s (possibly earlier), this leopard reflects the mid-century fascination with exotic animals and bold interiors. Comparable examples were created by noted Italian studios such as Bitossi and regional Tuscan workshops, though many pieces were unsigned. At 19 inches tall, it is large enough to serve as a dramatic statement piece while still being versatile for tabletop, console, or entryway display.
Figures of leopards, panthers, and tigers symbolized exoticism, strength, and luxury during the mid-20th century, becoming iconic elements of Hollywood Regency and Palm Beach interiors. Rare in this scale and coloration, this leopard cub stands as both collectible Italian pottery and a glamorous decorative accent.
