This sculptural piece has a warm natural clay finish and a beautifully timeworn European character that works effortlessly in classical, Mediterranean, or mid-century interiors. Made in Italy, circa 1950s–1960s, the bust reflects the romantic decorative sculpture style popular in postwar Italian export ceramics and art pottery. The expressive downward gaze and textured hair give the piece a quiet, contemplative presence, while the matte terracotta surface adds warmth and depth. A striking shelf, console, mantel or pedestal accent with timeless old-world appeal. Marked "Italy" on bottom. See less
