Celebrate the loyal spirit of man’s best friend with this sleek Ceramic Labrador, a contemporary wall sculpture by Enza Fasano. Hand-molded in the artisan kilns of Grottaglie, Italy, this piece captures the gentle, sturdy essence of the Labrador Retriever, rendered in a mesmerizing, high-gloss deep purple glaze.

The sculpture is defined by its smooth, fluid lines, emphasizing the dog’s broad head and soft, folded ears. Unlike more textured pieces, this work relies on the reflective quality of the glaze to define its form. The dark, jewel-toned finish acts almost like a mirror, pooling in the curves to create a sense of depth and liquid movement. It evokes the look of dark obsidian or polished amethyst, giving the friendly subject matter a touch of sophisticated mystery.

Designed to be wall-mounted, this piece bridges the gap between traditional animal portraiture and modern pop art. It is a striking addition to any space, offering a bold, colorful statement that honors a beloved breed with Italian elegance and artistic flair.

Enza Fasano continues the prestigious ceramic lineage of her father, Maestro Nicola Fasano, from her studio in Grottaglie. Her work is a study in "philological artistry," where the ancient language of Apulian clay is reinvented through a modern lens. By combining classic forms with unexpected, vibrant glazes, she creates emotional, tactile objects that serve as a bridge between the rich history of Italian craftsmanship and contemporary design.
