Set of Three Antique Erzgebirge Animals vintage American art pottery and despite being made ofThree great old German Erzgebirge animals, the horse especially special I think, with a beautiful if somewhat inexplicable large red spot on his back and looking so elegant with those elongated legs. I take the gray one for a cat and the yellow for a cow, but perhaps it is a dog! I think they make quite a nice grouping, and the two smaller ones stack perfectly, so I'm selling as a set. Horse: 4 t x 3 l. Yellow: 3 l x 2 1 2 t. Gray 1 3 4 t x 2 3 8 l.
