About the Item
An enchanting mid-20th century Hungarian porcelain sculpture designed by Mihály Nagy for the esteemed Zsolnay manufactory. This captivating piece depicts two polar bears perched atop an abstracted iceberg form, rendered in the company’s signature green iridescent eosin glaze, a luminous, shimmering finish that shifts in tone depending on the light, giving the sculpture a dynamic, almost ethereal presence.
The stylized composition reflects both the Art Deco influence and Zsolnay's commitment to blending fine craftsmanship with expressive design. The smooth, flowing lines of the bears and base are accentuated by the lustrous glaze, which enhances the sculptural depth and adds a jewel-like quality to the surface.
The piece is in good vintage condition, with minor wear consistent with age and handling. The original maker's mark is present on the underside, confirming its authenticity and origin. It measures approximately 4 3/4 inches tall, 7 1/4 inches wide, and 4 inches deep.
A distinctive and collectible example of mid-century Hungarian porcelain, ideal for display in modern, Art Deco, or nature-inspired interiors.
