A vintage Chinese pottery horse made in the Tang dynasty style, finished in a rich sancai inspired glaze of amber, green and cream. The form references the celebrated Tang burial horses, long associated with status, strength and protection, reinterpreted here as a decorative sculptural object. This example features a boldly modelled saddle, stylised proportions and a high gloss glaze with visible kiln pooling and firing variations to the legs and base. The weight, colour saturation and surface character give it strong visual presence, whether styled on a console, bookshelf or layered into a vignette.
