The Chinese craftsman's grasp of figure molding and carving displays a magnificent level of virtuosity. From the primitive Han attendant figures to the sophisticated, highly detailed Tang and Ming horses there is much to be learned of ancient China in this gallery. Come back often, as new collections are being added regularly.

We love the primitive character of Han figures, and these horses are typical of that style. A superb white and purple Shandong horse and rider highlight this collection.

The Tang Dynasty experienced many changes in style, and nowhere is it more evident than in these Court Ladies. Exquisite clothing lines and facial details mark the Grey Lady who anchors this collection.

The horse has played a pivotal role in the development of China for thousands of years. This collection of styles from 7 dynasties provides a glimpse of the potter's interpretation of this great animal.
