📌 A Poetic Transformation: Inspired by the famous verse: “In the spring breeze, the horse gallops fast — in a day, one sees all the flowers of Chang’an.” Often used to express success and joy, now sculpted into a moment of victorious stride.
📌 Dynamic Form: The horse is captured mid-stride with raised front leg, muscular definition, and flowing tail — suggesting it has just emerged victorious from competition or returned gloriously from battle.
📌 Arched Base Design: The arc-shaped base enhances a sense of forward momentum, as if the horse is still in motion, mid-celebration.
📌 Calligraphy Detail: The base is inscribed with the phrase “Galloping in the Spring Breeze” in a calligraphic style created by artist Heinrich Wang, merging poetry with porcelain.
📌 High Craftsmanship Challenge: Due to its structural complexity — from the elevated base to the fine horse legs — the work requires meticulous control during molding and firing to prevent cracking and distortion.
📗 Artist Quote: “The joyful rhythm of galloping hooves, the breezy ease of spring wind — atop this horse, one rides forward, unmatched and radiant.” — Heinrich Wang
