A small red brass horse springing over a stack of books with clouds under its hooves.
Ping bu qing yun – to step up into the blue clouds – is the old Chinese wish for a steady climb to a high place. For a student or someone starting out it is the wish to pass the exam, get the post, move up. The horse carries the idea of speed and success; the books below it stand for study, and the clouds for the heights that study can reach.
The horse is a deep red over brass with a black mane, tail and hooves; the clouds are white and the books gold, all standing on a red-brown plinth. At 29 cm tall it sits easily on a desk, a bookshelf or a side table, and it makes a good gift for a graduation, a new job or a new office.

Because every piece is finished by hand, the depth of the colour and the small details vary slightly from one piece to the next. Screens also show colour a little differently. That variation is normal and is not a fault.
