A beautiful, stunningly hand painted, enamelled, totally hollow, famille rose figure of Shou Lao God of Longevity. The CHINA stamp in RED Underneath in its formation Dates this statue as an 19th Century Piece at minimum.
"CHINA" marks were first used in the 1890s on export porcelain. This exact red close together lettered CHINA stamp is depicted in gotheborg records. This statue could be older maybe Late 1800's just received the china stamp once at export or during travel we are not sure of the exact reading of the impressed mark but it is well pressed for sure. We have dated this statue in respects to the aged porcelain, coloration, attributes found on old make pieces and the obvious CHINA mark.Looking closer at this vessel life pours from within a plant can be seen growing or sprouting up from its top as done naturally from the ground even more longevity wow. All of these sacred and well known attributes are attached with a blue ribbon that wraps and seemingly flows around the God. Standing atop a colorful stone surrounding colorful water enamelled and splashed lovely indeed. Iron reds, blue, green, pink and that lovely yellow these colors really stand out as a whole on this statue. This statue is very unique as it carries most of God Shou Lao's Well known attributes as in many other cases one or a few may be left out, once again he is depicted with his staff, the bird, the vase or vessel and peach.
