Immerse yourself in the sculptural elegance of this striking ceramic Stag Beetle, a testament to the masterful artistry of Enza Fasano. Handcrafted in the historic ceramics district of Grottaglie, Italy, this piece reimagines nature’s armor in a deep, lustrous aubergine purple glaze that catches the light with a liquid-like sheen.
The sculpture is defined by its dramatic, serrated mandibles and intricately textured legs, which blend anatomical realism with a touch of surrealist fantasy. The smooth, domed carapace contrasts beautifully with the segmented, organic details of the underbelly and limbs, showcasing a meticulous attention to form.
Versatility is central to its design; this beetle serves as a bold tabletop sculpture, a wall-mounted installation, or an atmospheric sconce when illuminated by a tea light, casting intricate shadows through its openwork details.
Born into the lineage of Grottaglie’s celebrated Master of Ceramic Art, Nicola Fasano, Enza Fasano has dedicated her life to the evolution of Apulian pottery. Working alongside her husband, Salvatore Santoro, and daughter, Giovanna, Enza honors centuries-old techniques while pushing the boundaries of contemporary design. Her work is a dialogue between tradition and innovation—an emotional journey through shape and color that transforms local heritage into modern treasures.
