What does this mean?

Hello Hope.

Thank you for your appraisal inquiry with MeArto. I very much apologize for the delay in your appraisal. The item presented appears to be a glazed ironstone sculpture, marked "Hong Kong O.A.I." to the underside. The sculpture appears to depict a male bodhisattva figure, possibly Guanyin, who is often depicted on top of a dragon in Chinese art.

This item is not antique (100 years old or older) but rather vintage, dating to the mid 20th century. The estimate provided is based on auction listings of similar glazed ironstone decorative items with the "Hong Kong O.A.I." hallmark.

Do you have a similar item and want to know how much it’s worth?

Communicate directly with a qualified specialist and get a fair market valuation of your item, typically in 48 hours or less.
