The porcelain is nearly 1 inch thick and would have been from a monumental vase. The frame has been custom made from a hard metal, possibly silvered bronze.The porcelain is early Ming, the frame C19th. It measures 7 inches (17.8 cm) across the frame. There is a fair amount of surface wear and the glaze has fled in places (original). It weighs 1070gms so be aware of postage costs.

A very finely carved boxwood figure of a boy sitting astride a buffalo on an equally well carved original stand. The eyes are probably glass and teeth are made of bone. All the fur is beautifully engraved (photo 12).Dating from C19th/ Early C20th., it measures 8 3/8inches ( 21.3 cm) long not including stand. There are some expected age cracks. The rear right leg has been broken and neatly re-stuck and the stand has a piece re-stuck. Also some of the ox's teeth are gone. This sounds a lot, but is hardly noticeable and quality and overall effect remains.
