About the Item
This Czechoslovakian bisque porcelain horse bust is a refined example of early to mid-20th century decorative art, blending classical influence with modernist stylization. Modeled in a bold yet elegant form, the sculpted head features smooth planes, a streamlined profile, and a sharply ridged mane reminiscent of the iconic chess knight—a symbol often used in Art Deco and Mid-Century design to evoke intellect, strength, and sophistication.
The piece is crafted in unglazed bisque porcelain, a material valued for its subtle, matte surface that recalls the texture of carved marble or Parian ware. This finish enhances the sculpture’s purity of line and shadow, emphasizing its sculptural qualities over ornamentation. The mark “MADE IN CZECHOSLOVAKIA” dates production between 1918 and 1992, a period when Bohemian and Moravian factories were renowned for producing fine export ceramics that merged artistic refinement with technical excellence.
The form and finish suggest it was conceived as a decorative object—designed to bring a sense of quiet luxury and sculptural grace to a modern interior. Combining timeless elegance with understated craftsmanship, this horse bust stands as a testament to the artistry of Czechoslovakian porcelain design during the height of the European Art Deco and Mid-Century periods.
