Likely produced in the mid-later 20th century, she reflects the decorative porcelain traditions that celebrate elegant form, delicate color, and refined surface detail. She is dressed in flowing robes highlighted with raised enamel decoration and touches of gold. The sculptural drapery adds movement and dimension, while the soft celadon glaze gives the piece a luminous, almost serene quality. In her hand she holds a small pink blossom, adding a gentle pop of color against the cool green tones.
Her hair is styled in an elaborate updo adorned with floral and jeweled accents, and her facial features are finely painted with a calm, graceful expression. From every angle, she has a composed and graceful presence.

She works beautifully styled on a console, bookshelf, or layered into a Chinoiserie-inspired vignette. Even with a minor imperfection noted in the condition, she displays beautifully and retains strong decorative impact. See less
