Chinese Distressed-Glaze Porcelain Guanyin Sculpture

This decorative export porcelain sculpture depicts a standing figure of Guanyin modeled in the traditional Dehua style, a historically celebrated Chinese ceramic method famous for its heavy vitrified body and crisp, sculptural representations of Buddhist deities. This sculpture features a distressed, faux-weathered polychrome application over the porcelain. The deity stands upon an intricate base composed of turbulent waves, lotus blossoms, and seed pods, showcasing molded details including beaded necklaces and a lotus-motif belt. The unglazed base includes a central firing aperture and a handwritten mark.
