Subject:Question re Chinese or Japanese Figurine
Posted By: Ed Wed, Nov 15, 2017 IP: 2605:9080:1014:3005: Hi all. Just curious if this is Chinese or Japanese? It looks like blanc de chine, but I have never seen the raised decoration before. It is mounted to the wood stand, so I can't get a look at the bottom, unfortunately. Seems to be very well done. It is about 20" high. Thanks. |
