A true hallmark of 1990s high-style maximalism, this piece exemplifies Waites' legendary 'More is More' aesthetic.
The tureen features a dramatic, large-scale leopard form with a removable lid, rendered in a rich, warm glaze with hand-painted spots that mimic the depth of a jungle cat's coat. Originally produced for Certified International Corporation, this rare serving vessel doubles as a stunning centerpiece or console sculpture.
It is pure Tony Duquette energy—exotic, lush, and unapologetically glamorous. Whether used to serve a decadent bisque or simply styled on a sideboard with malachite and palms, it is a conversation starter that brings the spirit of the safari into the curated home."
