About the Item

The ceramic figure has a sleek, elongated body with an elegant, somewhat abstract form typical of mid-century modern design. The figure is wearing a skimpy, two-piece costume. The top is a bandeau-style, while the bottom is a skirt with a long slit, embellished with vertical stripes in white, brown, and orange tones. These elements hint at a Middle Eastern or Mediterranean aesthetic, which was popular in decorative ceramics during this time. Headpiece: A white head wrap or scarf with black spots is draped around the figure's head, adding to the exotic look. Pose: The figure is posed in a dynamic, standing position, holding a circular basket with fishes. The base is round, textured, and painted with earthy tones, complementing the overall color scheme of the figure. The figure's elegant, flowing design and vibrant colors are reminiscent of post-war Italian ceramic artistry, with influences from Art Deco and Mediterranean themes. This type of figure was often produced by Italian ceramic manufacturers such as Ronzan or other renowned ceramic workshops in the region.
