Dominate Italy Hand-Painted Ceramic Orchid/Lily Figurine

This is a vintage hand-crafted and hand-painted ceramic floral figurine by Dominate, made in Italy. The piece features two large, vibrant blooms resembling orchids or lilies, accompanied by a smaller closed bud at the apex. The flowers are characterized by ruffled, scalloped petals with a gradient color scheme of soft ivory/yellow in the centers transitioning to a vivid rose-pink along the margins. The petals are accented with delicate hand-applied dark spots, mimicking the natural anatomy of tropical flora. The stems and surrounding foliage are rendered in a medium-to-deep matte green, providing a striking contrast to the floral tones. The entire arrangement is anchored to an organic, stump-like base with a textured, mottled brown finish. Based on the style and craftsmanship, this piece likely dates to the mid-20th century (circa 1950s-1970s). The construction showcases fine ceramic work with thin, delicate edges on the petals, a hallmark of skilled Italian decorative arts. The item appears to be in good vintage condition, though close inspection of the thin petal edges is recommended for micro-chips, which are common for this type of fragile ceramic. The glaze is glossy on the floral parts, highlighting the depth of the hand-painted colors.
