A VERY WELL-MODELED BLUE AND SANCAI-GLAZED POTTERY FIGURE OF A CAPARISONED HORSE

TANG DYNASTY (AD 618-907)

The horse is shown standing four-square on a rectangular base with head harnessed and turned slightly to the left, with rakish forelock swept back beneath pricked ears. The back carries a heavily textured saddle blanket molded in imitation of fur and covered in a blue glaze. The floret trappings and the chest and crupper straps are crisply molded with suspended heart-shaped leaf medallions picked out in straw and bright green glazes. The body of the horse is glazed in a rich amber, which pools around the hooves. The bulging unglazed eyes show traces of pigment.

18 1⁄8 in. (46 cm.) high, cloth box







Provenance

Acquired in Hong Kong, September 1982.





Special notice


Please note that this lot is subject to an import tariff. The amount of the import tariff due is a percentage of the final hammer price plus buyer’s premium. The buyer should contact Post Sale Services prior to the sale to determine the estimated amount of the import tariff. If the buyer instructs Christie’s to arrange shipping of the lot to a foreign address, the buyer will not be required to pay the import tariff.
