It comes in two poses, one with its head bowed low and one with its head lifted toward the sky. It stands about three and a half inches tall in a deep glossy green or a pale celadon, and you can have either pose on its own or both together as a pair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo base. No painted face. Just a full round chest, a round rump, four short legs and a glaze glossy enough to catch the window. In traditional Chinese decoration the Tang horse has long stood for blessing and prosperity. That is why you so often see one on a desk, a tea table or the shelf by the front door.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTwo poses that read as a pair\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe head-down horse arches its neck forward like a chess knight and tucks its muzzle in toward its chest, so it looks calm and a little proud. The head-up horse does the opposite, with a long upright neck and its nose raised. Set nose to nose, the two of them make a small scene that a single ornament never quite manages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey are separate pieces, so you can stand them face to face, walk them one behind the other along a mantel, or split them between two rooms. On the green head-down horse a ribbed mane runs over the arch of the neck like the teeth of a comb. Under the thicker celadon glaze that same mane comes out smooth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGreen or celadon, one horse or both\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGreen is a deep bottle green, almost black where the shadow falls, with bright highlights wherever the light hits it. It stands out best on pale oak, a white shelf or a cream wall. Celadon is a soft, pale jade green with the same high gloss, quieter in a room, and it looks its best against walnut, dark painted wood or a row of dark book spines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pair gives you one head-up and one head-down horse in the same glaze. If you only want one, pick the pose: head down for a calm, settled look, head up for something more alert. The glaze can vary a little from piece to piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSmall enough for a desk or a tea tray\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach horse is about the height of a coffee mug and sits comfortably in your palm. So it fits the places a bigger sculpture cannot: the corner of a desk, the end of a row of books, the narrow ledge under a mirror. On a tea tray it sits happily beside a clay teapot and a few cups, and its broad back gives the teapot lid somewhere to rest while the tea steeps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWherever it goes, it adds a spot of color and a bit of old tradition to a room without asking for much space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eType: Decorative figurine\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaterial: Ceramic with a gloss glaze\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eColors: Green, Celadon\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStyles: Pair, Head Up, Head Down\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePair: One head-up horse and one head-down horse in the same glaze\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHead Up dimensions: 3.6 in tall, 3.6 in long, 1.9 in wide (9.2 x 9.1 x 4.7 cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHead Down dimensions: 3.5 in tall, 3.7 in long, 1.9 in wide (9 x 9.5 x 4.7 cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMane: Ribbed on the green head-down horse; smooth on the green head-up horse and on both celadon horses\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinish: High gloss, with unglazed foot tips\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSizes: Approximate; each piece can vary slightly\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDisplay: Freestanding on four legs, no base\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse: Indoor decoration\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Includes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePair:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1x Head Up Ceramic Tang Horse Figurine\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1x Head Down Ceramic Tang Horse Figurine\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHead Up:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1x Head Up Ceramic Tang Horse Figurine\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHead Down:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1x Head Down Ceramic Tang Horse Figurine\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ridgewell Living","offers":[{"title":"Green \/ Pair","offer_id":68089539133736,"sku":null,"price":89.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Green \/ Head Up","offer_id":68089539166504,"sku":null,"price":54.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Green \/ Head Down","offer_id":68089539199272,"sku":null,"price":54.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Celadon \/ Pair","offer_id":68089539232040,"sku":null,"price":89.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Celadon \/ Head Up","offer_id":68089539264808,"sku":null,"price":54.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Celadon \/ Head Down","offer_id":68089539297576,"sku":null,"price":54.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/9430\/5064\/files\/0726-01-studio-green-pair.png?v=1793768576","url":"https:\/\/ridgewellliving.com\/products\/ceramic-tang-horse-figurine-in-glossy-green-or-celadon-single-or-pair","provider":"Ridgewell Living","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
