This rocking horse from Blazon, produced circa 1970, is a quintessential example of late mid-century design dedicated to children's spaces. Formed from moulded plastic in a predominantly cool grey palette, its body transitions smoothly from deep charcoal to ivory and warm cream accents on the legs, muzzle, and tail. The mane and tail are intricately modelled and streaked with grey, emphasizing a sense of dynamic movement. The saddle stands out with a textured, metallic red seat pad trimmed in gold, complemented by cylindrical blue handles and decorative, painted bridle details. Sculpted blue eyes with black outlines lend added expressiveness to the equine form. The plastic surface remains mostly matte, punctuated by subtle gloss from handling and time. Characteristic signs of use from the era are present: scuffs, scratches, and areas of paint loss, especially on the head and flank. Nevertheless, the structure is solid, and the technical details – including visible seams and reinforced base attachments – reflect classic 1970s production techniques. Preserved in good condition with authentic wear typical of mid-century period pieces. This rocking horse resonates with the spirit of the optimistic 1960s, when toys were both a source of childhood joy and a showcase for innovative materials and processes. Plastic, prized as a modern material of the future, enabled this playful, streamlined shape and vibrant colour story. Its carousel-like embellishments evoke
