Product description
Description & Function
A ceramic tableau featuring two deer — one standing, one reclining — joined on a shared base shaped like a soft hillscape. The piece is unapologetically sentimental: large eyes, elongated ears, and a high-gloss finish. Entirely decorative, it embodies a visual softness rarely tolerated in contemporary interiors.
It aligns perfectly with Antidote Aesthetics: not as ironic kitsch, but as a sincere homage to the small, the gentle, the seemingly unnecessary.
Origin & Production
Likely produced in Italy or West Germany between 1955 and 1975, a period when ceramic animal figures were widely appreciated in domestic decor. The form and glazing technique suggest origins in regions such as Thuringia or Emilia-Romagna.
Material & Finish
Glazed ceramic in warm, natural tones — brown, cream, with black and white accents on the eyes and ears. The base is hand-painted in soft pastels: blue, green, and beige. Minor irregularities in the glaze point to small-scale, mid-century production.
