Gzhel Horse Figurine - Blue&white porcelain figurines

There are so many reasons to admire horses! They are strong, powerful, beautiful, get along with people and have a unique personality. This graceful circus horse, so delicately hand painted in the Gzhel tradition, symbolizes the dynamic force and agility as it "stands up" on its hind legs on its forelegs off the ground, showing a new trick to the excited crowd. Gzhel pottery, according to archeologists, exists since the beginning of the fourteenth century and this is why Gzhel masterpieces make an awesome gift for friends, family members, co-workers or simply anybody who always wanted to admire a wonderful piece of Russian history.
