🦚 Mini Story or Hook

A wonderful example of colourful mid-century Italian decorative pottery, this charming peacock figurine captures the elegance and flamboyance of one of nature's most spectacular birds.

Featuring a striking cobalt-blue neck, richly detailed plumage and an elaborate trailing tail decorated with colourful eye-shaped feather motifs, the piece showcases the vibrant hand-painted style associated with Italian ceramics of the 1950s.

The underside bears the handwritten inscription "Italy 1954", this was purchased by a former soldier holidaying in Europe in the 1950s, although the precise manufacturer and date remain unconfirmed.
