About the Item

Pair of 1950s life-size Dalmatian dogs ceramic sculptures from Florence, Italy By: unknown Material: ceramic, enamel, clay, paint Technique: cast, pressed, painted, hand-painted, glazed, enameled Dimensions: 21.5 in x 12 in x 30.5 in Date: mid-20th century, circa 1950 Style: Mid-Century Modern Place of origin: Italy A finely modeled pair of life-size ceramic Dalmatian dogs, crafted in Florence, Italy, during the mid-20th century. Each figure portrays a seated Dalmatian with alert yet composed posture, rendered with careful attention to anatomical proportion and surface detail. The black enamel collars and distinctive spotted coats have been painted with precision, accentuating the expressive quality of the forms. Resting on ochre-glazed bases that imitate stylized cushions, the sculptures bear inscriptions that affirm their Florentine origin. This pair exemplifies the longstanding tradition of Italian ceramic artistry, where craftsmanship merges with representational clarity. In postwar Florence, ateliers continued to produce decorative ceramics of remarkable sculptural quality, often combining classical techniques with modern subjects. These Dalmatians reflect that heritage, capturing both a moment in time and a broader artistic lineage.
