Chinese emperor figures ( China & Japan ) - Jay Cutler MVP - Aug 01, 2016 (07:38 PM)

Subject:Chinese emperor figures

Hi,

it seems I am buying too much lately. lol
Now I have picked up these two figures of Chinese emperors. I do not believe it is something extraordinary special but I like the style and the price was very low. The size of the figures is about 15 and 16 inches.

Still I have a few questions:
- who are the emperors? (I think the left one should be Qianlong and the right one could be Kangxi)

- how old could those figures be? The material is some kind of light weight but quite hard synthetic so they should be from the 20th century. However there is also some wear so I do not think they were made yesterday. Maybe mid 20th century?

- does anyone know something about the production of these figures? Are those two part of a larger series (they seem to be made from the same company)?

Thanks a lot.
