RARE Hereford Fine China ARKLE Horse Figurine LTD Ed 21/500 Legend Series

  
This is not a mass-produced ceramic; it is a highly detailed work of art by Hereford Fine China Ltd, sculpted during the company's peak period under the direction of former Royal Worcester master, Rick Lewis. Why This Piece is Exceptional: Early Edition Number: Hand-painted number 21 of a strictly limited 500. Early numbers in a run are highly coveted for their crisp mold detail. The "Fine" Quality: Unlike heavier figurines, this is crafted from genuine fine bone china-remarkably lightweight and delicate, capturing the true "blood horse" elegance of a champion Thoroughbred. Condition Report: This horse is in exceptional vintage condition. I have carefully inspected the ears, legs, and tail (the most fragile points) and found no chips, cracks, or restorations. The hand-painted finish is vibrant and the glaze is clear with no sign of crazing. Display: Arkle is mounted on his original, custom-made wooden plinth with a textured "cobblestone" effect base. The underside bears the full Hereford hallmark and the date 8/8/80. A rare opportunity for the serious racing historian or equestrian collector.
