Little horse Raku sculpture

The artefact

The figure of the little horse is tastefully depicted in a sensitive plastic pose in this raku ceramic sculpture featuring fine chromatic effects. A wise reinterpretation of the hallmark that has distinguished the excellence of Sardinian craftsmanship, I.S.O.L.A., created in the 1950s by the artist-designer Eugenio Tavolara, it is handcrafted in refractory clay and it is part of the distinctive Animals line produced by this ceramist.
