During the Tang dynasty (618–907 CE), wealthy Chinese families buried earthenware horses with their dead. These were not functional objects. They were status markers, companions for the afterlife, and some of the most technically accomplished ceramic sculptures of their era. The best examples — fired in a tricolor sancai glaze of amber, cream, and green, their manes and saddles rendered in precise detail — were commissioned from the finest potters of Chang'an and Luoyang. Owning one was a declaration of position. The tradition acknowledged something humans have understood since the Bronze Age: the horse is not merely an animal but a form. Its proportions — the curve of the neck, the tension in the shoulder, the relationship between mass and movement — make it an endlessly repeatable subject for sculpture, across every culture that had access to one.
The Sculptural Horse Candle carries that tradition into soy wax. Hand-poured and hand-finished at our Orlando studio, approximately 5 inches tall and 3 inches wide, in White, Blue, or Beige, with 5 fragrance options and Unscented.
Available scents: French Vanilla · Amber Musk · Cherry Merlot · White Eucalyptus · Bergamot & White Tea · Unscented — all phthalate-free.
