Subject:Re: Chinese Enamelled Porcelain Figure. Seal translation.

Your figure of what looks to be an official or scholar in Han imperial dress borne on the backs of a pair of dragons or dragon carps (see my picture) has a mark of "Rong Ji Zhi Zao"/"榮記製造", meaning "Made by Rong Ji".
Mainland China online sources are calling this a Republic mark, and I found one on an image of the Bodhisattva Amitayus with an auction estimate equivalent to US$445.87. This mark may also be associated with a Republic-era company which used the mark of "Zhu Rongji Zao"/"朱榮記造", "Made by Zhu Rongji", on the base of images of the "Cloth-Sack Monk" or "Budai Heshang", also called the "Happy Buddha".
Here an image of a Chinese scholar borne on the back of a dragon carp to help you identify the creatures keeping your figure afloat.
Best regards,
Bill H.
