Subject:Porcelain Statue
Posted By: BL Sat, Dec 23, 2017 IP: 69.86.17.79 I recently bought this statue at an auction. It is 18" high, 4" wide, and 31/2" deep. It seems to be decorative and I'm not sure the photo of the mark on the bottom has the right orientation. If anybody can give me any information about it I would appreciate it. Thanks. |

Posted By: Brandon mccloskey Wed, Dec 27, 2017 Not much help but I can tell you it appears to be Mongolian or at least of a Mongolian man. The dragons appear to be transfer decoration which was invented in England in 1760, not sure how long it took to get to Mongolia but I want to say early 1900's? Hopefully someone else can give you more info. |
