And while I'm here I'll just share this ceramic equine I recently acquired. Produced by Wien Keramos of Austria, likely around the 1930s-1940s. Not the greatest detail, and not a company I usually collect, but I found the leaping pose to be particularly appealing. It is also a rarer piece and not often seen, particularly in this coloration. Probably sculpted by Rudolf Chocholka, who began work at Wien Keramos in 1940 and sculpted many of company's horse figures.

Not an Allach or other top-flight piece, but I'm happy to add him to my fragile herd, nonetheless. smile
