Standing an impressive 15 inches tall, this expressive sculpture features a rare and distinctive seated stance — one paw lifted, mouth open, and body angled in a dynamic posture that sets it apart from more commonly seen reclining or prowling versions.

The sculptural detail and glossy finish highlight the panther’s muscular contours, emphasizing its energy and character from every angle. A superb example of postwar Italian ceramic artistry, it reflects the era’s fascination with bold animal forms and dramatic decorative statements.

Perfect as a statement accent in a modern, eclectic, or Hollywood Regency interior, this vintage ceramic figure brings both sculptural drama and timeless allure. See less
