1930s Torino glazed porcelain sculpture of seated Venus on shell over dolphins, manufactured by Lenci, Italy
By: Lenci
Material: ceramic, porcelain, enamel, paint, clay
Technique: cast, pressed, glazed, enameled, painted, hand-painted, hand-crafted

Place of origin: Italy
Softly modeled and delicately hand-painted, this Italian porcelain sculpture by Lenci depicts a seated Venus emerging from a stylized shell supported by two dolphins. Her serene expression and inward pose convey a quiet introspection, while the fluid modeling of the limbs and shell forms emphasizes grace over ornamentation. The palette, dominated by pale celadon, lilac, ivory, and blue, enhances the sculpture’s ethereal quality without excess.
Lenci, established in Turin in 1919, became known for merging artisanal techniques with modernist aesthetics, as seen in the fine glazing and subtle enameling of this piece. Manufacturer’s marks and origin are present on the base, consistent with Lenci’s early 20th-century production.
