A CHINESE SANCAI GLAZED POTTERY MODEL OF A HORSE AND RIDER, TL TESTED, TANG DYNASTY (AD 618-907). The rider seated astride the horse wearing a peaked hat and straw glazed clothes, the horse glazed in amber and green, on a rectangular base. With Oxford Authentication Ltd Thermoluminescence Analysis Report, Sample No: C100t45: it was estimated that the date of the last firing was between 900-1500 years ago, consistent with the period of manufacture, certificate dated 13 July 2000. Together with a TL test from the University of Hong Kong, estimating that the material was last fired about 1200 years ago, the result is consistent with the claimed period of manufacture, dated 22 February 2000. 36cm long x 43cm high. Provenance: Property of a Lancashire family Cracked and restored through horse's legs, extensive overpainting throughout to the majority of surface. With probable extensive restoration, this is evident to the rider and his arms (probably replaced), with two testing drill holes to the reverse of his head, to the horse's rear and side of cheek. The horse's tail and ears restored, the horse probably restored around neck although the extent of overpainting makes is difficult to ascertain the extent of restoration.
