A 'DEHUA' FIGURE OF GUANYIN AND CHILD QING DYNASTY, KANGXI PERIOD

seated on a rockwork throne cradling a child, flanked by a vase and book, the base with two acolytes centered by a writhing dragon; together with a 19th/20th century figure of Budai with impressed double gourd mark reading He Chaochun (2)

The Guanyin group has an approx. 1.6 x 7-cm section missing at the back, and the forefingers are lost; there is minor expected wear (including minor chips and nicks to base and extremities); and typical minor firing imperfections. The Budai figure is in overall good condition, with only minor chips to the underside of the base and one to the proper left sleeve.
