This large Italian ceramic turtle, produced in the 1960s, embodies the mid-century modern aesthetic characteristic of postwar Italian craftsmanship. The form is substantial and naturalistic, made from high-quality glazed ceramic with a primary matte turquoise hue featuring cool undertones. Subtle ochre-golden beige accents are thoughtfully applied along the shell, legs, and neck, simulating a gentle patina effect that enhances the piece's dimensionality and vintage presence. The shell is modeled in a stylized, geometric manner, with incised patterns providing architectural rhythm and palpable texture. The surface alternates between a primarily matte feel and occasional satiny highlights, especially on raised details. The hand-painted eyes—with glossy black centers, brown rings, and light reflections—bring liveliness and character to the figurine. Every aspect, from the intricate segmentation of the shell to the tactile texture of the skin
