Lot 175: A Collection of Ceramic Heavy Horse and Foal Figurines
A collection of ceramic figurines depicting a family of heavy horses, likely Shire or Clydesdale breeds, comprising two adults and two foals. Each piece is crafted with a high-gloss glaze in a rich bay or chestnut colour, featuring contrasting black manes and tails. The horses are modelled with characteristic white blazes to the faces and white feathered lower legs. The adult figures are depicted in active gaits, with one in a trotting pose and the other in a cantering or rearing motion, while the two smaller foals are shown in standing and walking stances. The undersides of the figurines are not visible in the provided image to verify any printed or impressed manufacturer marks. An orange adhesive label with the handwritten number 175 is present on the flank of the largest horse, and a white adhesive label with the number 10 is present on the back of one foal.
Condition report:
The collection appears to be in good overall condition. The high-gloss glaze is intact across all figures with no visible chips or cracks to the delicate ears or feathered legs from the primary angle (photo 1). No evidence of professional repair or significant surface wear is observed.
