About the Item

A fine pair of Chinese ceramic sculptures from the Qing dynasty, dating to around 1880. These figures are richly detailed and hand-painted in a striking palette of green, blue, white, and ochre glazes. Each sculpture represents a courtly figure, finely modeled with expressive facial features, elaborate garments, and symbolic accessories. The craftsmanship reflects the decorative traditions of late Qing artistry, where ceramics were often imbued with cultural and spiritual significance. The figures stand on pierced bases, enhancing their presence and elevating them as display objects. Their surfaces show natural signs of age, adding to their authenticity and historical charm. Decorative yet historically resonant, this pair embodies the artistry and elegance of 19th-century Chinese ceramics, making them exceptional collectibles for both connoisseurs and interior settings. Dimension: each Sculpture is around 83cm in height, 30cm wide and 25cm deep. A unique piece which is a great eye-catcher for your antique, modern, space age or mid-century interior. If you have any more questions we are very happy to help and send you more details, photos, videos, a shipping quote or information. All pieces are looked after in our own restoration workshop. We also can do new upholstery cover or other special requests. Please ask.
