Italian Hand-Painted Female Ceramic Sculpture, 1950s

Italian Mid-Century Modern Figurative Art

This Italian hand-painted ceramic sculpture from the 1950s beautifully captures the sensual elegance and craftsmanship of Mid-Century Modern Italian artistry. The piece depicts a graceful nude female figureaccompanied by a crane, symbolising beauty and harmony. Its delicate hand-painted glaze brings warmth and movement to the soft pastel tones, creating a refined decorative object full of expression and charm.

Italian craftsmanship and sculptural detail

Carefully modelled with refined contours and expressive posture, the sculpture reflects the postwar Italian fascination with organic form and human expression. The smooth ceramic surface enhances the tactile appeal of the piece, while the soft glaze tones—creamy ivory, blush pink, and muted greens—imbue it with timeless allure.

A collectible example of mid-century figurative art

Perfect as a statement decorative piece or as part of a curated art collection, this sculpture embodies the elegance and sensuality that defined Italian ceramics during the mid-century period. A rare and evocative work that celebrates the union of design and craftsmanship.
