When I saw this SCORPIO ceramic sculpture in a Mid-Century store, I was pulled across the room! As a pottery fan, I was immediately taken by the unusual design & the excellent likeness of the scorpion. The outside framed form has a rough texture while the animal has a glossy glaze. This piece measures 8 tall x 8+1/8 wide & is in mint condition. From my research I have learned that this ceramics producer, Jihokera Bechyne, was widely respected & collected in Europe. I believe the designer of this piece was Vladimir David. I also have a second zodiac piece of ARIES The Ram in the exact same design, which is listed.
