This Italian ceramic heron, dating from the 1980s, exemplifies decorative figurines crafted in a realistic style with clear references to late 20th-century Italian ceramic traditions. The slender form faithfully captures anatomical proportions and delicate details—from the subtle feather texture to the fine lines on the legs and beak. The main body features a deep, cool blue with gentle tonal gradients and shading, creating dynamic movement across the surface; this contrasts with vivid orange-red accents on the beak and legs, and a soft green at the base that blends smoothly into the glossy, off-white pedestal. The entire piece is finished with a high-gloss glaze, giving the surface a smooth, reflective quality. Hand-painted and numbered, the figurine is in very good condition, with no visible damage, chips, or signs of wear; all hand-painted elements remain authentic and well-preserved. This heron evokes the spirit of 1980s Italy—a blend of artistic fantasy and a renewed fascination with natural motifs. The interplay of color and light across the glazed surface conjures images
