About this seller
Private sellerProduct description
This is a vintage Shiwan earthenware figure from China, a beautiful example of traditional Asian craftsmanship. The statue depicts a detailed representation of a wise man, namely the historical Chinese poet and statesman Qu Yuan (c. 340-278 BC). The figure is crafted from ceramic and finished with a characteristic crackle glaze in a cream-colored hue. The details in the face and clothing are carefully crafted, reflecting the rich tradition of Shiwan earthenware. A number stamp is visible on the bottom, suggesting it was made around 1950/1960. The statue was purchased in Paris during that period by a family member who brought it to Antwerp. The statue stands on a wooden base, which contributes to its authentic appearance. The object is in good vintage condition, with a patina befitting its age. The crackle glaze is an original feature of the design and contributes to the character of the piece. This decorative object fits perfectly into an eclectic or Asian-inspired interior. It looks beautiful on a sideboard, in a display cabinet, or as part of a collection on a bookshelf.
