Need help identifying a tiger statue. Chinese?

    Hi all,

    I recently acquired this guy at an estate sale and i'm having a really hard time identifying him. The base color of the pottery material is a faded brown / tan. It is hand painted and the tiger appears to be hollow all the way through and when I look down his throat I can see what appear to be tool marks. The tiger seems to be glazed although it isn't high gloss, more of a dull shine. His tongue has no glaze on it.
    There is an oval impressed mark with characters on the base beside a hand painted mark in red.

    Some stats:

    He measures 11.5" tall and 9.5" long.
    Weight is just over 7 lbs

    Any information that you guys could give me would be much appreciated! Thanks! :) IMG_6489.JPG IMG_6492.JPG IMG_6489.JPG IMG_6492.JPG IMG_6494.JPG IMG_6497.JPG IMG_6498.JPG IMG_6499.JPG

    I suggest you try him in Antique Discussion too.
    That may help if no one's commenting here and say why you've done so.
