A Hagen Renaker and Three Imitations

After Sell It Here, I headed to Devine's Antiques (nothing), Leaping Leopard (nothing), and Klassy Klutter. BINGO!!

In the side room, there was a table with a lot of china and Japan horses. This group, sold as a set, caught my eye. I knew the reclining horse was a real Hagen Renaker. I suspected the other three pieces were Japan copies, and I was right.

 Set of four china horses, $9, Klassy Klutter, Lafayette, Indiana, 2/2015.

 HR Reclining Horse, A-209, 1951 - 1952, $9/set of four, Klassy Klutter, Lafayette, Indiana, 2/2015.

 The crazing in his glaze is typical of older Hagen Renakers. (I LOVE the old HRs!)

The picture isn't the best, but you can see "HR" incised into the underside.) I actually already have this piece, and will probably sell this one.
