Featured sang de boeuf ? chinese immortal pottery figurine

hey buddies

found this today for a couple of golden nuggets

i usually see alot of these things in resin. but as this was pottery with a nice glaze, i thought i would have it

any info appreciated. has a mark on the back

chip to foot (but thats how i realised it was pottery !!!)

sorry about pics (its late !)

 

I don't think that is a mark. It could be an auspicious quote.
The colour is too brown to be sang-de-boeuf, or oxblood, which is dark red:

 

thanks aj, the colour is more like the vase colour, pictures have come out to dark

its defo a maroony red colour

ill get a better pic tomorrow

 

Are you sure it isn't resin? The part of the base showing looks suspiciously like it. Here is a very similar figure even with the brown chipping that they say is resin.

pretty darn sure its not resin, but will check with a hot pin

be ready for a grumpy faced emoji if it is resin

 

If it turns out to be resin, you could always turn it into a voodoo doll.

 

not resin

 

Yay!

 

and i swore id never use an emoji !!

 

Never say never.

I forgot to say, he is Hotei or Budai, a Buddhist monk who became a semi-deity. The sack represents abundance.

its a composite resin, so it it was harder to tell

Oh boo, but on a brighter note, your avatar sent me off to listen to Van Morrison
