Pour Horse Pottery Auction for Boxing Shire "Test"

Pour Horse Pottery

Auction for Rare Test Boxing Shire

Ending February 21, 2004

This handsome bay mini Boxing Shire was an experiment for Joanie to see if she could replicate the nostalgic style of Hagen Renaker paint jobs - specifically the use of white on his legs and his blaze - which captures the exquisite facial detail in this horse sculpted by the talented Donna Chaney.

In addition, this is the first casting of the new base - still 100% glaze fired, but now with more detail and excitement.

He was cast in colored slip as vintage HRs were. Joan then sprayed his legs and face white, then sprayed layers of body color over the top. His mane and tail are hand-painted, as are his ear tips and leg chestnuts, going far beyond the HR factory finishes.

He will make a fine addition to someone's collection, especially rare because Joan does not typically release her tests for sale. This one, though, was just too handsome to live his life off of the show table. He is clearly marked on his underside as a Pour Horse Pottery Test, produced in 2004.

To bid:
Send an email with your name and bid amount no later than 7:00pm PST on February 21st. The winning price will be $25 over the 2nd highest bid, or the full bid amount, whichever is less. Joan will immediately notifiy the high bidder, and will send an email to those who did not win notifying them of their status.

You only get one bid in this auction, so make it count!
