Exotic Ceramic Figurine – "Pekuela" by BIO Torino, Italy – ca. 1955–1965
Rare and captivating mid-century ceramic sculpture titled "Pekuela", crafted by the artisanal Italian studio BIO Torino. Made in Italy during the 1950s – 1960s, this piece exemplifies the fascination of post-war European design with exoticism and hand finished artistry.
The figure portrays a serene, half-nude woman seated with a decorative bowl at her side. Her modest expression, smooth features, and elegant posture reflect a romanticized interpretation of non Western beauty a hallmark of the era’s decorative trends. The matte glaze and geometric ethnic-inspired patterns on her skirt add both texture and cultural flair to the piece.
