|---|
| 17th – 18th century Early Qing dynasty Porcelain with yellowish clear glaze Height: 24.2 cm / 9.5 in Width: 12 cm / 4.7 in (at widest point) From a Northern California private collection [SOLD] A well-modeled blanc de chine Guanyin, with harmonious proportions and elegant lines. Its yellowish and bubbly clear glaze is typical of 17th/18th century Dehua white wares. This Guanyin’s face is round and magnanimous, evoking earlier images of the Guanyin as an androgynous bodhisattva. This figure is additionally supported by a rocky plinth. The delicate miniature censer to the Guanyin’s side is nearly identical to popular 17th century Dehua blanc de chine censers |
