About the Item
A dazzling pair of Italian majolica tabletop sculptures inspired by Tang Dynasty Chinese horses, reimagined in a brilliant chrome yellow glaze that transforms these traditional forms into bold, modern statements. The vibrant color—a nod to both ancient Chinese ceramic glazes and 20th-century Italian design exuberance—pushes these from mere decorative objects into the realm of sculptural art.
Chrome yellow, a pigment historically prized for its intensity and clarity, was widely used in ceramics and decorative arts for its radiant glow. Here, it brings a contemporary edge to an otherwise classical silhouette.
During the post-war era, Italian artisans and designers often revisited historic motifs and reinterpreted them through modernist materials, playful palettes, and a global design vocabulary. This pair exemplifies that movement—where ancient form meets mid-century flair—and reflects the era’s fascination with the exotic and the iconic.
These horses are perfect as standalone sculptures, or as dramatic bookends or console-table highlights, bringing a touch of modern grandeur and rich cross-cultural reference to any interior.
