Description :

Vintage Pair of Hotei Laughing Buddha Ceramic Figures

Vintage figures depicting Hotei, also known as the Laughing Buddha. One figure is shown standing with both arms raised, wearing a crackle-glazed robe and holding a beaded string. The other is seated with five children climbing over his body, each child in a distinct posture. Both are finished in multicolored glaze with molded and painted features. The seated figure bears an impressed mark on the underside, consistent with mid-20th century Chinese export ceramics. The standing figure is similar to examples attributed to the People's Republic of China. Material appears to be ceramic, though exact composition is unconfirmed.

Dimensions:
Standing figure: 9.5" H x 5" W
Seated figure: 7" H x 8" W x 5" D
