Weighing an impressive 16 lbs. 10 oz., this "Throne Style" estate piece is a masterwork of mid-century Jingdezhen artisanship, combining the symbols of the three Star Gods—Fortune, Prosperity, and Longevity—into one magnificent sculpture.

Exceptional Artisanship & Rare Details:
* The "Dragon Tongue": Demonstrating incredible sculptural depth, the hollow dragon-head armrests feature individually sculpted, tiny raised tongues—a hallmark of master-level porcelain.
* Master-Stroke Hair Painting: The child’s face features individually painted hairs rendered with a single-stroke "rat-whisker" brush, a level of detail found only in the finest hand-painted works.
* 360-Degree Gold Gilt Medallions: The deity’s robes feature mirrored "Lu" (Prosperity) medallions on the arms and a magnificent "Floral Shou" (Longevity) medallion on the reverse of the throne, ensuring the piece is breathtaking from every angle.
* Fired Liquid Gold Gilt: Genuine fired gold luster highlights the dragon throne, the bird, and the deity’s staff, providing a deep, mirror-like glow.
* Authenticity Marks: Includes original kiln vent holes (visible in the ear and base), essential for the structural integrity of a massive hollow-cast work of this scale.

Symbolism & Meaning:
This piece represents a "Complete Life." Shouxing holds the Peach of Immortality, while the dragon throne signifies power. The child releasing a golden bird represents the liberation of the spirit and the passing of blessings to future generations.
* Scroll Translation: Chángmìng fùguì — "Long life, wealth, and honor."
* Base Translation: Shòu bǐ nánshān — "May your life be as long as the Southern Mountain."
