A CHINESE BLANC DE CHINE FIGURE OF GUANYIN
18TH/19TH CENTURY

The Goddess seated on a rockwork base with three scrolls, wearing a voluminous robe from which her left foot protrudes, the robe opening at the neck to reveal a beaded necklace, her right hand resting on her raised right knee, her head turned slightly to the left with a serene expression and an urna mark, her chignon held in place by a ruyi-form hair pin with two knotted locks flowing over her shoulders, the reverse impressed with two seal marks reading He Chaozhong, one in a double gourd, the other within a square, 14cm.

Provenance: from a large European private collection of Dehua porcelain acquired from PJ Donnelly by the vendor's father who was a friend, and thence by descent.
