On Taipei flea market I have got nice porcelain figurine of Guan Yin with rare hand position and child in the lotus on the head. It is rather massive and of height about 8 inches. After washing it I have found very nice iridescence from yellow and green enamels. Yellow enamels in some places is crackled. Small traces of wearing. Hole in the bottom has spiral shape showing that it is not slip casting. Small hole on bottom hole (last picture) goes to small (?) cavity inside body. All these features tell me that this figurine turns out to be very old, at least 19th century. Am I right?
