The rarest of the decorators, this is the Wedgewood Fury. He is 1 of only 7 blue Furies (2 of which we own) currently known to collectors.

In the 1950s and 1960s, the Montag Brothers Paper Company based in Atlanta, GA, offered a number of premiums to school children who bought their products. Kids could cut out and collect the "Blue Horse" trademarks found on Montag goods and send them in to the company for prizes, ranging anywhere from beanie caps to bicycles. In the early 1960s, Montag commissioned the Breyer company to make a blue horse, like their trademark, to offer as a premium. Only a handful of samples were made and sent to Montag, and the company decided not to go ahead with the premium due to lack of interest. The few models received were sent home with Montag staff members.

This particular model sat in the Montag company president's office for several years before it was given to the company's advertising executive, a horse figurine collector. He in turn sold the model, still wrapped in newspapers from 1965, to my family from his antique store in 1994. Our model is pictured with a variety of Montag paper goods and several original Blue Horse trademarks that were never mailed in.

Copenhagen Five Gaiter, Running Mare, and Fighting Stallion---all three are live show multi-champs.

Our Wedgewood Running Foal that was purchased mint in the box.
