[QUOTE="mmarco102, post: 422826, member: 8289"]Yes of coures, I am and been very aware, and as always, love your direct honesty, you are a doll and a half :) Still I am holding out for a long shot, and I mean A LOOOOONG SHOT. When we first brought them home,they looked much older, and without me knowing my girl took them into the kitchen for a scrubbing(YIKES!). She called me in and said she tried and tried but couldnt get all the white powerdry stuff off. I replied “than don’t try” :). After her cleaning they did look newer but stank awful. Thats when I googled and found Tang horses. Here are a few not as beautiful as your horse and you.;) [ATTACH=full]147726[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]147727[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]147728[/ATTACH] and here are some blue ones that look glassy and shiny new. Even ones that are in my horse style(imitation can be the finest form of flattery), but less detail. This all said, I still believe in my heart that they are not Tang, just everything at gotheborg.com suggested a strong possibility. Maybe not buried in the tombs with the kings as these are just over 8 inches tall. Didn’t pay much as the lady in charge couldn't find any markings(haha) so it’s all in fun. Most museum curators have probably seen a blue Tang horse once in their entire life. That says a lot about mines ;) [ATTACH=full]147729[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
