how old is this chinese horse?

Bought this huge chinese ceramic horse which has some damage. It has a pleasent earthly smell to it and the glaze is dull and my tongue sticks very strongly to the unglazed white ceramic. Can't find a second one like it, only the real tang pieces with the same shape as mine. How old is it?

 

all that dull white is the result of sanding the glaze so you can probably guess thats not a great sign and created to make something look old

the linked example is a perfect example of what they were trying to achieve (by sanding)

 

May we see the bottom of the piece, where the unglazed clay body may be visible? Original Han Dynasty mingqi figures were made of low fired earthenware. Yours appears to be a higher fired stoneware or porcelain.

 

Any analysis findings available from a qualified laboratory on age or composition,what about provenance documents and/or exhibition history ? Can you give us exact dimensions and what does it taste like ?

 

Tang..y ?

 

Tang has the same pronunciation as sugar in Chinese, so if it tastes sweet then it might be a genuine Tang piece

 

The horse according mr nagy is Beijing Zhang clay figurine, that is what the stamp underneath says. If it is qing dynasty or later i don't know. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clay_Figure_Zhang

 

57 x 54 cm i have not tasted it yet, just a carefull tonge stick test. i don't hope this comes over in the wrong way.

 

Translation: for sale at 88 cny, 70 cny if picked up in person

Why would you not post this photo in your original question?

 

It boggles the mind.

 

they are both so beautiful.......

 

i'd go as far as to say uncannily both as beautiful

 

There's a chance it actually is from the Tang Period-but the only way to truly know is to taste it !

 

I only found out after i posted my question. case solved

 

i found out the answer after i already posted my question, so nothing strange about it.

 

What is strange is that you didn't post a photo of the stamp, which is the most essential part when it comes to an ID of the maker and of the age.
