$39.31
This pottery figure of a horse is sponge-decorated in shades of pink and brown. It was made at St. Anthony’s Pottery, located in Newcastle Upon Tyne, England, between 1800 and 1810. The coat’s colors were created using oxides painted and covered in a clear glaze. The figure features a hand-painted white and red saddle decorated with wavy light blue lines, a light brown “leather” strap, and a mane and tail painted midnight brown. The horse stands on a green-mottled “grassy” base. This charming figure has an elegant stance. Dimensions: 7” long x 5.75” tall x 2.5” wide at the base Condition: Some good professional restoration (Restoration is perhaps inevitable on figures with such fragile legs).
