Unusual pair of vintage porcelain horse figurines, believed to date from around the 1960sā1970s, both with quite different decorative designs.
The approximately 15 cm figure depicts a reclining/rearing-style horse decorated with an elaborate pink fabric saddle or blanket, artificial flowers, ribbon and gold-coloured trim. Gilt detailing highlights the hooves and mane.
The approximately 13 cm group features two stylised horses, including a smaller foal, decorated with applied porcelain flowers and leaves. Further gilt detailing appears around the figures.
A wonderfully kitsch and decorative pair with plenty of vintage character ā particularly appealing as mid-century horse and equestrian ornaments.
Used vintage condition with no damage noted, although there is slight age-related wear, including some wear to the gilt decoration. The textile flowers, ribbon and trim on the larger horse also show age/storage wear consistent with being vintage. Stored for a number of years.
Both pieces appear unmarked, so we have not attributed them to a particular manufacturer.
