Beautiful Chinese import circa 1900 hand painted and hand pottered man on waves statue figure. There is a impressed back stamp China and impressed Chinese characters which I cannot translate. My research attributed this piece to Famille Rose Medallion and dated circa 1900. He stands approximately 5 1/2 inches high and has what appears to be waves around his feet. There was also a woman figure but sadly her head had fallen off and had a terrible repair so I left her behind. This fellow has no chips or cracks although there are a few little marks on the back of the waves. His head is more glossy than the rest of him. The back of the base he is standing on has some paint loss but no damage that I can feel. I had to rescue him before he was beheaded like is mate. Please inspect all the photos for condition in the event I missed something.
