Never saw this decoration either on Chinese or Japanese porcelain. Let's see if someone else recognizes it.

I've never seen this decoration on Arita ware or on anything Japanese, the decoration is very low quality.

Basically, horses as decoration on Far Eastern wares are rare...the reason probably is because the horse was only used by the upper classes. Farmers used buffaloes or oxen to work the fields. Common people traveled on foot while those who could afford it used palanquins, in China.
