A nice small blanc de chine or white porcelain figure of Kwanyin seated in the Royal Repose position. The piece has a very light creamy color to the glaze - not the normal very white associated with earlier blanc de chine pieces. It is clearly hand modeled from the indications of hand work on the inside of the figure. The Kwanyin measures 5 1/2" high by 3 1/2" wide at the base and 2 1/2" depth at the base. It comes with a wooden stand that is 1 1/2" high. It is in excellent condition with no cracks or chips - a firing crack on the inside that is both stable and does not come through the piece - and a small pair of external firing hairlines at the base near the bottom right side of the garment. One usual detail is that the exposed right hand is a slightly different color - whether because it was fired at a different temperature before insertion - or a possible later replacement - we can not determine. We date it to the late Qing dynasty, circa 1880-1910. |
