A scarce antique ironstone art pottery elephant decorated in a creamy white glaze with a highly desirable craquelure patina and featuring rare multi-color floral rose and leaf transferware decoration.
Hand-crafted in the 19th century, most likely English, the rare large Chinoiserie elephant figurine naturalistically modeled in a standing pose with gently staggered legs lending a sense of movement. Nicely detailed, head facing forward with large sculpted ears, tusks, depicted holding stylized trunk downward and in, which represents life and the ability to conquer obstacles.
Beautifully colorful, highly decorative, sculptural, and interesting, quickly add a splash of artistic Bohemian eclectic design, whimsical shabby chic elegance and cozy romantic warmth to any space!
