Rare antique Chinese Blanc de Chine porcelain figure of a seated dignitary with later ‘clobbered’ polychrome decoration added in London. Similar, undecorated example in the Burghley House collection was recorded in their 1688 inventory and described as possibly Ming but could in our opinion also be an early Qing example dating to the 17th-18th century.
In good antique condition with some age-related surface wear and nibbles around the base.
Height: 14.2 cm
