A sleek, classic Italian ceramic lion in a relaxed, recumbent pose—marked Ronzan, Made in Italy on the underside. This vintage figure is beautifully modeled and finished in a soft ivory glaze with subtle hand‑painted accents at the eyes, nose, and paws, giving it a quietly elegant, almost architectural presence.
Its long, low silhouette and calm gaze make it a standout sculptural object that works in both Classic European interiors and more streamlined Modern luxe rooms. Place it on a mantel, console, entry table, or bookshelf to anchor a vignette or elevate an understated wall or fireplace. The piece is substantial in size yet refined in color and line, so it reads as high‑end decor rather than a playful figurine.
