Unusual Antique Qing Chinese Porcelain Laughing Buddha Sancai Glazed c1920
About the Item
The unusual antique ca. 1920 Qing Chinese porcelain Laughing Buddha is a remarkable and exquisite piece of art that exudes charm and cultural significance. The statue features the iconic Laughing Buddha, also known as Budai or Hotei, a beloved figure in Chinese Buddhism and folklore.
Crafted during the Qing Dynasty, which spanned from the mid-17th century to the early 20th century, this Laughing Buddha statue is a testament to the skill and artistry of Chinese ceramic artisans during that time.
The statue is made from porcelain with a reduced kind of Sancai glaze, which translates to "three-color glaze". The Sancai glaze technique was popular during the Tang Dynasty, but its use continued in later periods like the Qing Dynasty.
The Laughing Buddha is depicted in a jovial and contented posture, with a round belly and a big smile on his face, symbolizing happiness, good fortune, and abundance. The figure holds a sack or bag in one hand, which is said to contain gifts and blessings for those who encounter him. This portrayal of the Laughing Buddha aligns with the belief that he brings joy and prosperity to those around him.
The antique age of this piece adds to its allure, as it carries a sense of history and longevity.
As a rare and unusual antique, the Laughing Buddha would be a treasured addition to any collection of Chinese art or Asian antiques. It holds not only artistic value but also cultural and spiritual significance, making it a truly captivating and cherished artifact from the past.
