Vintage White Porcelain Rearing Horse and Foal, Hutschenreuther Germany, Pair, 5"

A white horse up on its hind legs, head turned back over its shoulder, mane and tail rippling, and a little foal standing at its feet looking the other way. Both are glossy white glaze all over, so together they read more like a small sculpture than a pair of ornaments.

They're small enough for a shelf and lively enough to hold one. Maybe on the end of a row of riding books. Maybe on a desk by the window. Maybe on the bedside table of someone who rode as a kid and still talks about it.

They don't just sit there. The big one looks about to go somewhere, and the little one looks ready to follow.

Pair of white glazed porcelain horses. The rearing horse stands on a naturalistic base with a green printed Lorenz Hutschenreuther "LHR Germany" mark and an impressed signature reading "G. Grang…", for Günther Granget, the German sculptor who modeled animals for Hutschenreuther. The foal is a simpler figure with painted dark eyes. Horse 5" tall; the foal is about half that. A few small dark specks in the glaze and light grime on the unglazed undersides, shown in the photos. Sold as a pair.

For the bookshelf, the desk, or anyone who still can't pass a horse without stopping. #followthefeeling @tallmadge_ave_vintage

Each piece is vintage or antique and has lived a life before finding its way to Tallmadge Ave; natural signs of age, wear, patina, and imperfections are part of its character and are to be expected. All pieces are sold as-is, and any notable condition issues are described in the product listing. That said, if it arrives damaged or isn't as described, we'll refund you in full, including shipping — since each piece is one of a kind, we can't simply send a replacement. Otherwise, returns are accepted within 14 days of delivery. Questions any time at christine@tallmadgeave.com — we're a two-person shop, and we answer.
