About the Item

Charming and expressive, this antique Italian ceramic sculpture captures the alert presence of an owl in striking detail. Hand-painted and richly glazed, the figure showcases finely modeled feathers, piercing glassy eyes, and a softly mottled palette of browns, creams, and golden ochre. The owl perches atop a cluster of glossy green leaves, offering an organic contrast to its earthy plumage. Stamped “Made in Italy” on the underside and handcrafted circa 1960, the piece reflects Italy’s long tradition of whimsical yet finely executed ceramics. Measuring 16.25 inches high by 9 inches wide and 7 inches deep, it makes a bold yet playful statement on a console, bookshelf, or entry table. In excellent vintage condition with minor wear consistent with age and use, this sculptural piece brings both character and craftsmanship to any interior.
