Chinese Turquoise Glazed Mythical Beast, Late Qing Dynasty, circa 1900, China
About the Item
An unusual and absolutely charming Chinese porcelain turquoise glazed mythical beast, possibly a qilin or a pixiu, very late Qing Dynasty, circa 1900, China.
The strange figure is chimeric, with pawed lions feet, long, floppy goat ears, a pair of curled rams horns, a dog-like face, a mane that morphs into long hackles, and a short forked tail. Crafted in porcelain and glazed all over in a rich and deep turquoise glaze.
This odd looking animal may be a qilin, a benevolent and auspicious animal said to appear to herald the arrival or passing of a great leader or sage. However qilin are usually portrayed with cloven hooves.
Another mythical beast this may portray is the pixiu, an auspicious animal related to wealth and protection. With two horns, this would be a bixie, the female of the species charged with warding off evil.
Marked CHINA in black twice to the underside.

Pair Chinese White Glazed Guanyin, Qing Dynasty, 18th Century, China
Located in Austin, TX
A sublime and rare pair of Chinese white glazed porcelain figures of Guanyin, attributed to Tang Ying (1682 - 1756), Qing Dynasty, Qianlong Period, China.
This ethereal pair of white glazed porcelain figures depict the revered Buddhist Goddess of Mercy, Guanyin. Guanyin is portrayed standing, wearing heavy robes that drape beautifully around her figure. Bare feet peek out from under the hem of the robes. Her hair piled in a high chignon and covered by a cowl. The treatment of the hair, finely textured, unglazed, and with remnants of darker pigment, is typical of works by Tang Yin (1682 - 1756), who was the head of the imperial porcelain works at Jingdezhen.
Guanyin's beatific face is set in a serene smile, with a small, flat nose, and downcast, heavily lidded, almond shaped eyes. A simple beaded necklace graces her chest. Her hands held out, and may have once held attributes.
The hands were originally removable, but have since been permanently attached.
The figures crafted of a fine porcelain and glazed all over in a supple white glaze.
One figure bears a label from the Rafi Mottahedeh collection to the back.
Provenance:
Chinese Porcelain Company...
