Long Description: 

I received from a client in 1998 as a gift to me, my client was given this horse as repayment for past due fees on storage space from a Chinese import company in the port of Long Beach CA

The horse was very cautiously stored in a wood box, the box exterior covered in linen and interior is cushioned in white silk, the storage box included a receipt of $1250.00 USD, which I assumed was a portion of the repayment for past due fee to my client- I would not know?

The horse was originally fully covered in clay and about 5 years ago the clay was removed by a family member not knowing either right or wrong some of the clay residue remains in some areas including the base.

The bottom of the base has a #13 carved on the clay and a Chinese Stamp?

Let me know if you would like to see more photos or if you know of a local appraiser?

Thank you for your time and your professional opinion. Marcus~

I bought 6 pieces of terracotta figures at an estate sale yesterday and my gut tells me they could be worth something significant. Two of them had tiny price tags that were worn on the foot for $7,200. I have several photos.

Bought them both at an estate sale. I was told they are chinese Cachepots and they are gilted (gold inlayed I think). Both are in very good shape. The lady that owned them was very wealthy and traveled alot and visited lots of different countries. Would like to learn some info on both items and hoping to sell them as well. Have a bunch of other cool items as well I picked up from the sale.
