Horse Brass History - Ceramic Centre Brasses
Ceramic Centre Horse Brasses
Ceramic centre horse brasses were produced from 1870 to 1950’s. These beautiful brasses come in many colours, red, blue, white, black, navy and many of them are striped red, white, and blue. The back of a ceramic can provide identification of the age of the brass. The older ones have two metal prongs soldered on the back, holding the ceramic centre in place. The newer ones, 1930 to early 1950, have a bolt and screw, holding the ceramic in place.
Almost all ceramic brasses were stamped. Only a few of the later ones, 1940's to 1950's are cast brasses. Their extreme rareness is obviously a product of the fragility of the ceramic itself.
Note the two soldered metal prongs to secure the central ceramic
