Mid-Century Ceramic Rearing Horse TV Lamp and Planter

This is a vintage mid-century modern 'TV Lamp' featuring a stylized rearing horse jumping over a split-log fence. These decorative items were popularized in the 1950s and 1960s to be placed atop television sets to reduce eye strain from the bright cathode-ray tube screens. The item is constructed from kiln-fired ceramic or pottery, finished with a high-gloss, honey-amber or ochre-colored glaze. The glaze exhibits 'pooling' in the recessed textures of the fence, creating a two-tone gradient effect that highlights the bark-like detail. The design includes a hollowed-out section behind the fence and horse, which historically served as a space for a light fixture and often doubled as a planter for small indoor greenery. The horse is depicted in a dynamic, power pose with a flowing mane and arched neck. There appears to be a minor surface blemish or 'flea bite' chip near the front of the base, and there is visible light crazing in the glaze, which is typical for pottery of this era. While no maker's mark is visible on the exterior, it is consistent with California pottery makers like Kron or Lane of Van Nuys, or similar novelty pottery producers of the 1950s.
