This 1970s ceramic figurine, inspired by the style of Ugo Zaccagnini, offers an Italian mid-century modern interpretation of orientalism. Crafted from colored ceramics, it features a deep cobalt blue glaze with high transparency covering the robe and headwear, contrasting with the matte, light gray ceramic of the face, hands, staff, and base. The base is adorned with a geometric Greek key pattern, and the figure’s proportions are elongated and elegant, with a sense of movement in the silhouette and delicately stylized facial features. The piece stands 19 cm tall with a base measuring 8 × 7 cm. Artisanal precision is evident in the detailed folds of the garment and the texture of the staff. The figurine is in very good condition, with no visible damage or signs of restoration. This object speaks in the voice of 1970s Italian ceramics, echoing a fascination with far eastern motifs. The glossy glaze reflects light in a theatrical manner, while the calm, contemplative face seems to tell a story of two worlds meeting—Mediterranean and Oriental. The geometric meander on the base evokes ancient inspiration, and the whole piece strikes a careful balance between tradition and modernity. The figurine could serve as a striking accent on a living room console and pairs well with simple, light-colored furniture, allowing the cobalt blue to deepen the ambiance. It may be displayed alongside a low planter with broad-leaved greenery or a minimalist ceramic lamp to highlight its oriental qualities. The piece would fit seamlessly into a mid-century collector’s interior or in an eclectic space where layered motifs from various eras create a rich visual narrative.
