A MASSIVE BLANC-DE-CHINE FIGURE OF GUANYIN

crisply potted standing on a lotus base above a large carp leaping from scrolling waves, wearing long flowing robes billowing in the wind open at the chest to reveal an elaborate beaded necklace from which a lotus pendant hangs, her facial features finely and naturalistically formed providing a calm and serene expression with downcast eyes, long elegant nose and bud-form lips, the hair tied in a high chignon and secured by an ornate tiara beneath a hooded cowl falling gracefully over the shoulders, holding the vase of immortality in her left hand, all under a warm milky-white glaze

Slight discolouration to the little finger on the right hand, which could possibly be a restored break. Two fine hair cracks to front of drapery. In overall very good condition.
