    Hey omniscient members of the forum

    I have a new one for you. I would like to know more about that Figure. Pretty sure it is Chinese Terracotta. But how old could it be and what is it with those Micky Mouse hairstyle? Could it be an antique Original?

    Height is 32cm

    Thanks again

    The combination of glazes on your lady are referred to as "sancai", and were developed during the Tang dynasty in China. The brief article in the link gives a good summary. Before you think you have a rare antique, note particularly the last paragraph:
    "Imitations now produced in Luoyang, Xi’an and other cities of China are well received as tourist souvenirs because of their close resemblance to the authentic works."

    Thank you once again 2manybooks

    I wasn't really hoping for a rare antique. At least it is now for at least over 60 years in the family, so it is probably not too new.

    Have a good start into the new week all
