This glazed ceramic or stoneware figure dates to the Meiji (1866-1912) in Japan.
It measures 7 1/4 inches tall by 5 1/4 inches in width and about 3 3/4 inches in depth at it's widest point.
It is in outstanding condition and has extremely vibrant colors. There is one extremely small circular spot of glaze loss which appears to be a kiln flaw on the sleeve.
Remnants of the gauze pattern remain on the unglazed bottom.
