I am particularly fond of this Finn - enough so that I thought about swapping him out and offering the Bodacious (the chestnut tovero prototype for the mold) instead. (Bo does have a structural flaw - a leg broken during the greenware stage - so he really had to stay.)  He is a tightly detailed, very precise horse, with every brushstroke right as I wanted it.  Since underglaze painting is often done blind (you cannot see for sure what you are getting), that's a rare thing!

He is a rich, sandy bay with intricate, lacey edges and areas of roaning.  He's also unusual in that his white areas are softly shaded with a pale cream, giving him a bit more depth, while his feathers and mane ends are stained a bit darker still.  This gives his coat a warmth that really helps to pop his striking frosty forelock and tailhead.  (I like to play with mane and tail color transitions with a lot of the pieces that I do, and the ones on Dutch turned out particularly well.)  He also has a lot more handwork on his hooves than past horses, giving them more depth and a more natural look. 

(Oh, and his name is from the rabbit coloring.  I always thought that tobianos with colored heads and colored rears looked like Dutch bunnies.)
