    Cute, but again, the applied dirt, Jose. The sign of recently made, and made to look old. 'Older ones' doesn't mean antique, they could be two years older than the other ones, and by a different manufacturer.

    In the listing flipper found it says:

    "created by skilled craftsmen in traditional style with fine handcrafts"

    That is Chinese seller 'speak' for: brandnew, made in the old style.

    impressed 'Fujian Club' - Fu Jin Hui Guan 福建會舘
    The Fujuan Club or possibly the Fujian Guild was a workshop where workers from Fujian assembled. They were skilled in modeling figures and some rose to great fame. One of these was You Chang Zi (1874-1922). He was born in Fujian, came to Jingdezhen in around 1913, worked in Fujian Club for about nine years until he passed away in 1922 at the age of only 48. He was widely recognized the best porcelain sculptor in Jingdezhen at the time. According to local oral history You Chang Zi liked to give his figures a face in the image of himself. The quality of the figure and its sculptural value should be considered first before paying any attention to the mark since these have been widely copied and added to very common wares as a part of the decoration.

    This is the information on the piece I post for you John
    Fujian Club You Chang Zi figure

    Mr. Simon Ng, City University of Hong Kong, have gracefully suppled us with this interesting piece of information regarding a picure of a Buddhist Monk figure signed by You Chang Zi.

    The artist, native of the Fujian province, was a notable early Republic porcelain sculptor working in Jingdezhen.

    The mark, reading from top right, says "Fu Jian Hui Guan (Fujian Club) You Chang Zi Zao (You Chang Zi Made)" is sought after but seems to have been widely copied.

    Acording to a local saying You Chang Zi liked to make the figure's faces in the likeness to his own. We might therefore be able to use the actual look of this face as an indication regarding the possibly authenticity of any "Fujian Club" mark.

    Thank you for your interest.

    Best regards,
    Jan-Erik Nilsson
