Large Chinese Tang Dynasty Style Sancai Glazed Pottery Horse, circa 1930
About the Item
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.

A group of ten hand carved and painted wooden Napoleonic soldier figures c 1930
Located in Central England, GB
This very rare group of French Napoleonic period soldiers are completely handmade. They have each been finely carved in wood and then hand painted with great detail. Each soldier is portrayed in a different position wearing a full uniform with a backpack, sword and rifle. I have never seen anything remotely similar. This type of model is usually made from cast metal as a production figure and not as an individual one off carved sculpture. These rare figures must have taken many hours of work to produce each one. Together they form a very decorative group which would be a good addition to any military...
