About the Item
Chinese export porcelain large mythical figures,

Circa 1775
The two Chinese Export figures stand on green shaped bases and although they are the same subject, they are modeled differently. They have a long green jacket with outlines of plants and butterflies. Around their waist are yellow aprons. One has blue cuffs and the other red. They hold in their right hand a staff with peaches resting on their left shoulder.

The peach in China is an emblem of marriage and of immortality and springtime. The most appropriate time to get married was considered to be in the Spring and it is in that month that the peach tree blossoms in China and hence the constant allusions to it in connection with marriage.
