About the Item

This antique English creamware horse was hand-painted at St. Anthony’s Pottery in Newcastle around the year 1800. This charming figure is modeled in a standing position on a green-glazed rectangular base. It features upright ears and expressive facial characteristics, exuding a sense of alertness and charm. The mottled gray and black body is enhanced with vivid orange-red patches, which contrast beautifully with a boldly painted saddle in ochre, cobalt, and yellow, showcasing a touch of folk-art brilliance. The use of sponged and brushed decoration, along with the vibrant yet earthy palette, is typical of the period and the regional pottery traditions of Newcastle upon Tyne, where St. Anthony's Pottery was active. Our horse is a rare example of early 19th-century English folk art depicting horses. It embodies the colorful and inventive spirit of regional potters who worked outside the major Staffordshire centers. Dimensions: 6″ tall x 6″ long x 2″ wide Condition: Good. Restored chips to ears and expertly restored legs. Price: $2,300 **Key Features**  Antique creamware folk art animal figure, c.1800  Hand-painted with mottled sponging  Made at St. Anthony’s Pottery, Newcastle  Green-glazed rectangular base  Distinctive example of early English ceramic folk art Background of St Anthony's Pottery: St. Anthony's Pottery was a small but distinctive English pottery located in Newcastle upon Tyne on the River Tyne in the northeast of England.

While not as prolific or well-documented as the Staffordshire potteries, St. Anthony's produced a range of earthenwares that are today highly regarded for their regional character and naive charm.
