Signed Mid-Century Cacciapuoti Italian Porcelain Huddled Pig Pair

There is a wonderful charm in the way the Cacciapuoti studio captured the animal kingdom. This mid-century study of two pigs huddled together is a beautiful example of Italian naturalism. Rather than the stylized or caricatured look often found in farm animal decor, this piece offers a more sophisticated and anatomically precise observation of its subjects.

Crafted in Milan during the golden era of the Cacciapuoti studio, the pair which measures 3″ tall x 4 1/2″ long x 3 1/2″ wide is rendered in fine porcelain with a soft, matte “bisque” finish. This finish perfectly highlights the subtle details—from the delicate set of the ears to the realistic folds of their skin. It is a piece that feels both substantial and sweet, capturing a quiet moment of companionship.

Since the Cacciapuoti factory ceased production in the 1980s, authentic and signed pieces like this are becoming harder to find for the modern collector. Happily, this pair is in excellent, ready-to-display condition.

This pair of “huddled” pigs serves as a sophisticated yet accessible nod to pastoral life, making it a perfect addition for someone looking to add a touch of whimsy to their home.
