This piece is a Sancai glazed blue saddle horse figurine, crafted from kaolin clay and hand-shaped. The horse stands tall with a robust, well-proportioned build, its head held high, muscles full and defined, exuding a calm yet majestic demeanor. It features a complete saddle and bridle, faithfully replicating the grandeur of Tang Dynasty steeds. The body is predominantly coated in precious gemstone-blue glaze, while the saddle decorations blend yellow and green glazes. The glaze surface displays natural, fine, and dense crackling—a hallmark of authentic Sancai firing techniques. Due to the high cost of blue glaze materials, such pieces are rare among extant Tang Sancai artifacts and rank above common brown or green-glazed Sancai horses. Sancai horses were classic funerary objects (mingqi) from the High Tang period, symbolizing military campaigns, long journeys, prosperity, and success. They bear witness to the cultural exchanges along the Silk Road. The base is neatly formed, the clay body shows signs of age, and the overall condition is excellent. This artifact holds significant value as a work of sculptural art, an important subject for ceramic history research, and a prized item for antique collectors.
