Vintage Rare Mid-Century art deco style Leaping Gazelle/fawn Ceramic hand glazed Figurine

Retro stylized leaping fawn sculpture on a rocky base

$45.00

Bring a touch of classic mid-century elegance to your home with this vintage stylized ceramic leaping gazelle figurine. Designed heavily in the biomorphic style of iconic 1950s American art pottery, this graceful piece features a tan, finely speckled "fawn" gloss glaze on the deer body juxtaposed beautifully against a rich green and brown drip-glazed geometric rock base. Approximately 6 inches tall. Featuring gracefully elongated limbs and a slender silhouette captured mid-leap.

According to my online research This piece appears to be crafted as an amateur studio or regional hobbyist cast from a vintage period mold, making it a unique, one-of-a-kind variant of classic mid-century atomic design. The unglazed bottom features individual hand-incised maker or batch markings used during the kiln firing process. Perfect for an MCM mantel display, bookshelf accent, or a unique gift for a vintage ceramics collector.
