A PAIR OF ‘CHUBBY HORSE’ FIGURES, TRANG LONG CERAMICS VIETNAM, FLAMBÉ SATIN FINISH GLAZE, HEIGHT 20cm, WIDTH 18cm.

Chubby Horse figures symbolize wealth, prosperity, health, and good fortune. Visually inspired by the famous Tang Dynasty ceramic horses, these stout, rounded statues represent abundance and peace, standing as popular talismans for business success and career advancement.

The "chubby" horse aesthetic comes directly from the Chinese Tang Dynasty (618–907 AD). During this period, art frequently favoured rounded, full-bodied figures (for both humans and animals) to reflect stability, peace, and the glory of a thriving empire.
