Antique Chinese Qianlong Famille Rose Porcelain Laughing Figurine
It depicts a laughing boy symbolic of a young Emperor Qianlong. The enamel colors used during the Qianlong period are very rich, deep and vibrant. The figure depicts a laughing boy on one knee holding a ruyi (sceptor) in one hand and a fruit in the other hand. The pink color enamel is characteristic of Chinese Famille Rose porcelain. Which was an important symbol used during the reign of the Emperor Qianlong. The porcelain boy figurine was made with great attention to detail which is especially seen in his clothing attire. The figurine weighs a solid 10.5 ounces and measures 7 inches in height, 4 inches in width. To find an authentic piece such as this, is very rare. I would recommend that you compare this piece to others on the internet to see how different an authentic piece from the 18th century Qianlong period compares to one that is not.
