Lot Essay


Dealers in equestrian feed, medicine and tack used large pottery horses, like the ones seen here, in their display windows to draw in customers. Traditionally all called ‘Leeds Horses’, now only pearlware models are thought to have been made by the Leeds factory itself. Examples can be found in the Leeds City Museum, the Yorkshire Museum and the Glasgow Art Gallery and Museum.
