A vintage Tang Sancai style glazed terracotta trotting horse figurine. This figurative piece has a muscled horse as it's subject. The animal is depicted with its front forward left leg lifted and captured as if it were mid trot or a proud prance. It bares no harness, bit or bridle nor any reins only wearing an unstrapped saddle. Its mouth ajar as if having just whinnied. with a cocked head that allows the creature to appear happy and care-free. It has a classic allure that features a striking green and brown drip glazed in the Tang Sancai tradition over its off-white toned base clay. It bares a stamped signature that consists of 5 Chinese characters and is discoverable on the top surface of the flat base rather than the underside as might normally be expected.
