A Striking Mid-Century Large Scottish Terrier A lively and elegant mid-century ceramic sculpture of a proud Scottish Terrier, captured with remarkable expressiveness. The alert ears, textured coat, and confident posture give this dog a palpable sense of personality and movement.
Crafted in Italy in the 1950s, this piece exemplifies the refined craftsmanship of the period's finest ceramic production. The surface is finished in a deep black glaze enriched with subtle grey nuances, entirely hand-painted to enhance the natural texture of the fur. The result is a visually rich, tactile object that plays beautifully with light.
The ceramic is notably thick and substantial, giving the piece impressive weight (2070 grams) and durability. The underside features traditional firing holes and a white glazed interior, confirming authentic production techniques.
