The Colbalt mineral had to be imported from Persia to China in order to make the blue glaze. This was very expensive and only the Royals and very weathy could afford items decorated with the  cobalt blue. The horse itself was a symbol of wealth, and Sancai glazed objects with cobalt detail were often included in the funerary ware of the wealthy. Early earthenware horses with solid bellys were made in the Han Dynasty. However, crafting a horse with a solid belly made for long firing times.

Earthenware item production increased during the Tang Dynasty because objects were now being molded in separate pieces, assembled with slip and then fired hollow, thus requiring less time in production and less time in the klin.  Tang Dynasty horses have hollow bellys because clay was scooped out by hand to decrease the firing time (SEE PHOTO WITH THE HOLE IN THE BOTTOM OF THE HORSE SHOWING THE MARKS MADE BY FINGERS). 

The condition of our horse is judged to be very good considering its age. The Rider has both hands. The hand holding the falcon is in a fist and the rise on the falon's head is the hood. I do not observe any issues. Examine and enlarge the photos as they serve as part of the description.  I am NOT an expert on Chinese antiques or Sancai glazes. A museum expert is required for authentication.  This is an estate item being sold as is with no returns. 

My parents' invoice description indicated: "early rider on horse Chinese." They always invested in quality art and antique items.
