Painted enamel and ivory figures of this type are rare and only one other closely related example is known, from the J.E.G. Kulkindis collection, offered at Bonhams London, 10th November 2016, lot 100. Compare also a pair of kneeling figures modeled in a related style, formed of a variety of materials including wooden bodies, enameled copper attributes, and ivory heads and hands, attributed to the eighteenth century, from the collections of H.M. Queen Mary and Mrs Rafi Y. Mottahedeh, included in the International Exhibition of Chinese Art, Royal Academy of Arts, London, 1935, cat. no. 688, and exhibited in Chinese Ivories from the Shang to the Qing, Sotheby’s, London, 1984, cat. no. 135, where it mentions that the set was probably made in Guangdong, which was ‘not only the main foreign trading port in the eighteenth century but also a centre of enamelled copper wares for the European market' (p. 115).

Please note that this lot is limited to buyers in the United States only and cannot be exported.
