A British, Leeds Pottery Pearlware model of a Horse with black mane and tail standing in a strong naturally braced position, the anatomical details of the body modelled to great dramatic effect, his head lifted with an alert expression, looking to one side with ears upright, wearing yellow bridle applied with blue rosettes. He stands on a green base edged with puce husks and chamfered corners.

 

Further Details: The tradition of such dramatic models within ceramic sculpture comes from their use as eye-catching display models used by saddlery dealers and those who dealt in horse medicine.
