About the Item

This imposing polished white ceramic sculpture depicts a lion in a standing position, a masterful example of the animalistic production of the famous Ronzan manufacture. Founded by the Ronzan brothers after their experience at the legendary Lenci factory in Turin, the firm has over the years become synonymous with plastic excellence and dynamic naturalism, taking decorative ceramics to sculptural heights. The work is striking for the vigor of the mane, rendered with a vibrant plasticity that accentuates the play of light on the glazed surface, and for the proud expression of the face, captured in the moment of roaring. The choice of a monochromatic white finish not only emphasizes its timeless elegance, but also makes the piece an extremely versatile piece of furniture, capable of dialoguing with modern environments or classic representative offices. The authenticity of the piece is confirmed by the hand-applied mark under the paw, which reads "1653 B.P. Ronzan Made in Italy." The number 1653 identifies the original archival model, making it a piece of definite interest to collectors of the genre and those who want an object that represents the best of mid-twentieth-century Italian ceramic design.
