A CELADON-GLAZED FIGURE OF BUDAI South China/ Northern Vietnam, c. 1900. Seated in dhyanasana on a two-tiered base, the hands supporting his huge belly, the face with a meditative yet slightly humorous expression, flanked by pendulous ears, the hair in tight curls. Covered overall in a crackled celadon glaze darkening in the recesses and stopping unevenly above the foot, revealing the reddish ware.

Condition: Good condition with some wear and firing flaws as well as glaze erosion and minor encrustations.
Provenance: Ex-Collection of The Zelnik István Southeast Asian Gold Museum. Institutional art collection in Belgium, acquired from the above.
