Title: Very large Kwan yin with 5 children
Post by: heavenguy on Feb 21, 2016, 06:26:59
This one also has two marks. The dehua and another one.

i was reading that in the late Qing and early republic they used to make reproductions of famous artists from the ming dynasty. Is this one of those pieces> this one is really tall, around 19 inches and really really heavy too.

It also has this really creamy color too and like yellow stains around it and some other ones like darker spots.

It has Kiln dust and some kiln cracks. It has a hole in the middle of the statue. I'm guessing maybe for the air to be realease from the top part.

thank you

You can also see on this one that the bottom is unglazed and you can see the fingers on the inside. Not like the second one.
Any information on the piece about age or any other information will be highly appreciate it.

Thank you in advance.
