DescriptionExhibition text: From the mid-18th century, animal figures from Delft were in demand. The figures that were made included cows, rabbits and horses. Some were painted in a variety of colours, whereas others were only glazed in white. The horse originally had an opposite horse facing left, and together they could embellish a mantelpiece or a table placed against a wall. It was also common to decorate a laid table with various figurines.
