This porcelain figurine from Dehua (Fujian), dating from the late 19th century, depicts a finely detailed huntress standing on a rocky base. It perfectly illustrates the prestige of Blanc de Chine from the late Qing period. The elegance of the character is expressed through her detailed costume: a wide woven straw hat, a delicate mantle, and a tunic adorned with sculpted pendants. While she bears the attributes of a warrior—an bow firmly held in her right hand, a quiver filled with arrows on her back, and a saber at her waist—the softness of her features and the curvature of her silhouette reveal a feminine identity. The craftsmanship is typical of Dehua workshops: the paste is creamy, the glaze is brilliant, and the closed base features the usual central firing vent, without any markings. It is a rare collectible piece due to its subject matter, as the huntress is a much less common motif than classical religious figures. The object is in remarkable condition, without any accidents, chips, or restorations. Height: approximately 15 cm Weight: approximately 230 g For shipping outside Europe, please request a quote Authenticity: Original Type: Figurine, Statue Origin: China Period: 19th century and earlier Country of origin: China Height: 15 cm Material: Ceramics, Porcelain
