A CHINESE LONGQUAN CELADON BUDAI BUDDHA FIGURE

拍品描述

This ceramic statue depicts Budai seated in a relaxed recumbent posture with a joyous open-mouthed smile, exposed chest and rounded earlobes. The robe is covered in soft celadon glaze permeated with delicate crackle, while the facial features, torso and extremities retain unglazed warm reddish clay to create vivid contrast. He grips a rectangular tablet in one hand, with a sack resting beside his hip. Rendered with gentle, rounded sculptural lines, it embodies the auspicious symbol of wealth and contentment, a charming figurative celadon work favoured by porcelain and Buddhist art collectors.
