How we make our models
Pouring bone china into a horse body mould. A horse and jockey is made up from 16 separate moulds.
Fine detail can be added into a bone china figure during assembly.
Before a model can be placed in a kiln for the first of its firings, a bone china scaffolding needs to be carefully assembled around the sculpture to support it, preventing the legs from bending.
The painter hand paints five different coats of paint; each fired separately, starting with light shades and building to darker tones to achieve the lifelike appearance of the horse's coat.
Each horse is finally completed with leather accessories, an oak base and engraved plaque.
