Hickstead Horse
The material
It’s made in a mould from terracotta. Earthenware and terracotta are the same material. But ‘terracotta’ is used to describe an object not made on a potter’s wheel, like a sculpture. Or one that’s unglazed like a flower pot or roof tile. Whereas ‘earthenware’ describes something that is made on a wheel, or is glazed, or both – like tableware.
The finish
The Hickstead horse is hand-finished to create a rustic patina of rough, bare terracotta with areas of smooth glaze. That’s what gives each one its own character. And because they’re hollow, they’re also much lighter than they look.
