True in all its elements to the original examples which date from the early Chinese Tang period. The black glazed horse is naturalistically modelled. It stands on a rectangular base with a detailed mane, tail and hooves. The head is well defined with a spirited open mouthed expression. The horse is saddled and has decorative trappings from which hang a set of foliate shaped plaques all of which are glazed in a mottled brown and green which matches the tail and mane. This fine large pottery figure is of top quality similar to a museum copy, circa 1930. Measures: height 51cm x width 49 x depth 19cm.
