This ceramic elephant on a stand measures 6 3/4 inches tall by 6 inches wide by 3 inches in depth.
It dates from the first half of the 20th century.
Although the glaze is identical to certain Chinese glazes, it may be American or European in origin.
It may also be Chinese, but we don't believe so, based on it's design.
It is in excellent condition with the exception of two minor flecks to the glaze and two holes drilled in it's base. It may have been filled with sand at one time to serve as a bookend. If there was a mate to this piece, we've never seen it.
It is a charming little piece, with legitimate age - at least 75 years.

This is an original pair of 18th-19th century wooden carvings of Chinese eunichs or officials. Each one measures 8.5 inches tall, 3 inches wide and 2.5 inches deep (at the base). They are in good condition with most of the original painted detailing remaining on their faces and painted details remaining in other areas, such as the hat, sash, and ceremonial jade disk held by one of them.
One figure holds what appears to be a representation of an old ceremonial jade. These appear to have been tomb figures that lost much of their original colors. The blue of the robes may be restoration.
