DOG WEST HIGHLAND TERRIER
Ceramic Horse Brass NEW with SOME CRAZING
Horse brasses were used to adorn the harness horses, primarily in the UK, many would identify the route, simply for decoration, royalty, different industries such as train or brewery and some, I am sure, were just made out of fondness for a likeness or animal. Some older brasses were worn on harness, others were just made primarily to commemorate a certain event. It is hard to date many of the harness brasses, yet you can get an idea from the patina as well as how well the brass is cast. You can sometimes tell from the darkness on the reverse, from the brass slapping against the leather of the harness. Stamped brasses are from the early 1900's and only up to the 1930's. Most brasses you come across were cast and often the getts (the holder for the casting) is left partly on the back of the brass. I find horse brasses lovely and intriguing. All brasses I offer for sale are from England.
The ceramic and porcelain brasses were primarily made for ornamental purposes. This ceramic brass is new from England. The hanger is solid brass, the insert is a heavy ceramic bisque. The new ceramic brasses are as highly collectible as the vintage ones. Each is made by hand, from the caster of the solid brass hanger to the ceramic inlay craftsman. An old art, brought back, I savor the time we have to still acquire these.
NOTE- The NEW ceramics are all NEW, some have simply been in storage. When they are made, the process is delicate and there can be imperfections, such as crazing, pimples, surface hazing and so on.  I will note any imperfections for each in the listing and all are priced accordingly. All look great on the wall.
