The scale gives it real presence, with proportions that read clearly from across a room.

Finished in a white crackle glaze, intentionally created to evoke age and surface variation. The saddle and harness are rendered in vivid turquoise with dark brown detailing, accented by pinecone finials and a Greek key border along the saddle blanket.

Mounted on an integral black rectangular base.

Mid-20th century export production. See less
