{"product_id":"vintage-italian-earthenware-dromedary-figurine-glazed-terracotta-with-panniers-1950s","title":"Vintage Italian Earthenware Dromedary Figurine, Glazed Terracotta with Panniers, 1950s","description":"This charming ceramic dromedary figurine is a handcrafted piece of Italian folk art from the 1940s–1950s. The standing one-humped camel is modelled with expressive character, its head raised proudly and its body covered in a warm amber brown glaze with deep olive green accents. On its back, two open pot-shaped panniers are fitted into the saddle, making this piece not just a decorative figurine but also a functional object, perfect as a candle holder or a small vase\/planter.\n\nThe unglazed terracotta base confirms its handmade origins, and the raw, sandy clay visible underneath gives a lovely contrast to the richly glazed surface above. No maker's mark is present, which is typical for small Italian craft workshops of this era. The modelling is expressive and full of personality, with visible texture in the neck and legs that adds to its rustic, artisanal appeal.\n\nA wonderful piece for lovers of Mediterranean folk ceramics, mid-century decorative objects, or anyone who simply cannot resist a dromedary with attitude.\n\nDimensions:\nHeight: 18.5 cm \/ 7.3 inch\nLength: 14 cm \/ 5.5 inch\nWidth: 8.5 cm \/ 3.3 inch\nWeight: 544 g \/ 1.2 lb\n\nIf you're outside the EU, please message me for shipping costs.\n\nColor may vary on your screen (slightly dark or lighter, not a completely different color)\nSome lifestyle or atmospheric images in this listing may be created with digital mockups, so small variations can occur.
