This superb large early 20th century finely modelled Tang dynasty Sancai glazed pottery horse is very 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
