The piece plays with bold contrasts: a deep, glossy black glaze for the elephant's body beautifully offsets the pastel blue of the basket and the vibrant, hand-painted geometric details on the saddle blanket. Perfect as a standalone sculptural object, a small planter, or an eccentric desk accessory, it brings a sophisticated pop of retro Italian design to any contemporary interior.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTechnical Details \u0026amp; Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"12,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eEstimated Period:\u003c\/b\u003e 1950s (Mid-Century Modern).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"12,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/b\u003e Italy (Girardi manufacture).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"12,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/b\u003e Hand-painted glazed ceramic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"12,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e Height 18 cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12,4,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"12,4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCondition:\u003c\/b\u003e Excellent vintage condition.
