A stunning and highly expressive example of mid-century Italian ceramic art, this "fighting" rooster figurine captures the bold spirit of traditional Majolica pottery. Featuring a dynamic, aggressive pose and an ornate scrolled base, this piece is a masterclass in texture and hand-applied colour.

This figurine is in exceptional vintage condition, retaining its vibrant original colour palette and a high-gloss finish that reflects the light beautifully. The intricate hand-painted details on the tail feathers, wings, and comb remain remarkably well-preserved with no significant paint loss. There are no chips, cracks, or visible repairs to the delicate beak, feet, or tail. As an authentic mid-century piece, light age-appropriate crazing may be present to the glaze under close inspection, which is a standard characteristic of vintage Italian pottery and confirms its authentic heritage.
