This is a find from yesterday at the antique shows in Brimfield, Massachusetts! This hand-modeled variegated blue glazed (probably cobalt) stoneware or red earthenware (not sure) figural of a horse was recently found in an estate in Cambridge, Massachusetts, which had belonged to a lifelong college professor in Boston. I suspect the object is American-made, and it was even perhaps played with by a child, in consideration of the wear found on the ears and a few other areas.
Note: For more information about some other good pottery found in another estate in Cambridge, see a feature story that I wrote for the September 8, 2023 issue of Antiques And The Arts Weekly, titled, Two North Carolina Vases Owned By A Cambridge, Mass. Family: http://www.earlyamericanceramics.com/2023/08/latest-feature-story-in-antiques-and.html.
Update: Carrie Stahl Schultz (1908-1985) has been suggested as one possible maker, who worked at the Stahl Pottery in Pennsylvania in the twentieth century. For more information - see a feature story I wrote for the June 28, 2019 issue of Antiques & Auction News, titled, The 19th-And-20th-Century Stahl Family Pottery In Lehigh County, Pa.: Stahl's Pottery Preservation Society Inc.
