Dating from the Qianlong period (1736-95), it measures 5 1/2inches (14 cms) across.
There is a faint 3.5cm hairline, a very small chip to the rim and minor chips to the footrim. Please study photographs to view the high quality of this item.
A charming figure of Hotei carrying his sack and holding a fan. It is modelled from fine white Hirado clay and painted in soft enamels and gilt.There is an impressed Mount Fuji mark to the base.
Dating from the early C20th., he stands 4 3/4inches (12.1 cms) high.
He would probably have had a bamboo pole through the hole in his hand and sack. He is in excellent condition.
