This is a rare and beautifully sculpted matched pair of mid-century white porcelain Tang-style horse figurines, each measuring 8.5 inches tall. These striking, high-gloss white figures echo the elegance of 8th-century Chinese tomb horses, reimagined through the lens of mid-century decorative art. Their stylized manes, raised hooves, and finely draped saddles add a sense of movement and quiet luxury to any interior. These figures are unusually well-executed, with crisp casting and symmetrical composition - mirrored to face one another in display. Unlike the more common sancai-glazed versions, this all-white porcelain set radiates timelessness and Hollywood Regency glamor.
They look equally at home in a minimalist vignette or a more maximalist, chinoiserie-inspired setting. The bottom of each base is felted, showing light age wear - another hallmark of mid-century production and thoughtful display. While most similar examples are mass-produced and poorly detailed, this pair stands out for its craftsmanship, finish, and matched form.
