Vintage 14-Inch Shiwan Ceramic Figurine of Monk Ji Gong (The Mad Monk):
$300.00

• Authentic Shiwan Craftsmanship: Features the iconic, highly expressive, hand-detailed face and bare chest characteristic of classic mudware pottery. The contrast between the unglazed matte clay skin and the beautifully draped, richly glazed brown and green robes is exceptional.
• Classical Details: Ji Gong is captured in his traditional folklore elements—smiling widely, wearing his distinctive pointed monk\'s hat, and holding his iconic leaf fan with a pair of torn sandals hanging from his waist.
• Provenance & Markings: The underside of the base features the classic double-export mark from the mid-20th century (circa 1950s–1970s). It includes a crisp, impressed bilingual oval clay stamp reading \"MADE IN CHINA / 中国制造\" alongside a matching red ink customs inspection stamp.
Condition:
• Perfect Vintage Condition. This piece has been meticulously cared for. There are absolutely no chips, cracks, breaks, or repairs. The delicate extremities, including the fingers, clothing folds, and the brim of the hat, are completely intact.
