Hello,

This figurine represents a Daoist immortal or deity, a popular theme in Chinese decorative arts. The depiction—with a serene facial expression, long beard, and symbolic attributes such as a staff—aligns closely with figures from the Three Star Gods (Fu, Lu, Shou) or other Daoist figures embodying prosperity, health, and longevity.

The polychrome glaze in green, yellow, and red is characteristic of export porcelain made for both domestic Chinese use and overseas collectors, particularly during the mid-20th century, when there was a resurgence of interest in “traditional” styled items. The figure is molded from porcelain and then hand-painted, typical of high-quality but mass-produced wares at that time.

The base shows a six-character mark painted in black. While these marks can sometimes replicate older dynastic marks, in this case, it appears to refer generically to auspicious phrases or workshop names. It is not an imperial mark. The red plinth appears more recent and unrelated to the original production—likely added for display stability or aesthetic reasons.

Condition:
Good condition overall. No significant cracks or repairs are visible from the photographs. Minor rubbing or glaze imperfections may exist, consistent with age and handling. The paint remains vibrant.
