Chinese Blanc de Chine Porcelain Group of the Eight Immortals, Signed, Late Qing Dynasty, circa 1890–Early 20th Century An exceptional and finely modeled Chinese Blanc de Chine porcelain group depicting the legendary Eight Immortals (Ba Xian), one of the most beloved and auspicious subjects in Chinese art. Executed in luminous Dehua porcelain during the late Qing Dynasty, this impressive sculptural composition exemplifies the refined craftsmanship for which Blanc de Chine ceramics have been celebrated for centuries. The intricate group portrays the Eight Immortals gathered beneath flowering peach trees, each figure rendered with remarkable individuality and expressive character. The immortals are shown holding or accompanied by their traditional attributes, while several young attendants present offerings of longevity peaches, symbols of immortality and eternal happiness. The beautifully balanced composition is animated by flowing robes, expressive facial features, and graceful gestures that bring the legendary Daoist figures vividly to life. At the center stands Shoulao (Shou Xing), the God of Longevity, distinguished by his flowing beard and benevolent expression. Surrounding him are fellow immortals and youthful attendants engaged in scenes of celebration and o ffering, while blossoming peach branches rise behind them, reinforcing the theme of longevity and divine blessing. The entire sculpture is masterfully executed in the creamy-white porcelain characteristic of Dehua (Blanc de Chine), whose soft, luminous glaze enhances every finely modeled detail. The subtle translucency of the porcelain, combined with the sculptural depth of the composition, creates an object of remarkable elegance and visual harmony. The sculpture is signed on the reverse, further attesting to its quality and artistic merit. According to provenance, the piece was possibly formerly in a German gallery or museum collection, adding to its historical interest. Large, museum-quality Blanc de Chine figural groups of this complexity are rarely encountered, making this an outstanding acquisition for collectors of Chinese porcelain, Daoist art...

A sublime and rare pair of Chinese white glazed porcelain figures of Guanyin, attributed to Tang Ying (1682 - 1756), Qing Dynasty, Qianlong Period, China. This ethereal pair of white glazed porcelain figures depict the revered Buddhist Goddess of Mercy, Guanyin. Guanyin is portrayed standing, wearing heavy robes that drape beautifully around her figure. Bare feet peek out from under the hem of the robes. Her hair piled in a high chignon and covered by a cowl. The treatment of the hair, finely textured, unglazed, and with remnants of darker pigment, is typical of works by Tang Yin (1682 - 1756), who was the head of the imperial porcelain works at Jingdezhen. Guanyin's beatific face is set in a serene smile, with a small, flat nose, and downcast, heavily lidded, almond shaped eyes. A simple beaded necklace graces her chest. Her hands held out, and may have once held attributes. The hands were originally removable, but have since been permanently attached. The figures crafted of a fine porcelain and glazed all over in a supple white glaze. One figure bears a label from the Rafi Mottahedeh collection to the back. Provenance: Chinese Porcelain Company...
