A highly detailed and naturalistically potted Austrian, Augarten white glazed Lippizan horse sculpture, depicting the Lippizan breed of horses appearing well groomed, wearing its saddle with tassels groomed into the horse mane and tail.
The horse can be seen rearing upwards upon its hind legs with tail wonderfully connecting to the back side of the oval base.
Marked with the Augarten blue shield underfoot and inscribed Wien under the shield. Additionally impressed "Made in Austria / 1550" under the base towards the front of the oval base.
Condition
An old repair can be seen with glue having been used to reaffix approximately a 1" portion of the horse's strap work that is draped over its left front rearing shoulder and can be seen in the lot images. The horse sculpture could use a proper cleaning but overall the sculpture presents very handsomely.
