Large Chinese Porcelain Budai (Laughing Buddha) with Five Children – 31 cm – 5.1 kg An impressive and highly decorative Chinese porcelain sculpture depicting Budai (the Laughing Buddha) surrounded by children, a traditional symbol of happiness, prosperity, abundance and family blessings in Chinese culture. This substantial piece immediately stands out for its large dimensions (31 cm height) and remarkable weight of 5.1 kg, reflecting the quality and density of its porcelain construction. The figure is richly detailed, with expressive facial features, carefully modelled garments and multiple child attendants arranged around the seated Budai, creating a dynamic three-dimensional composition. The hand-painted decoration combines soft pastel tones with vivid accents and fine ornamental motifs. The smiling expression of Budai, together with the playful interaction of the children, gives the sculpture exceptional decorative appeal and a strong visual presence. The underside bears impressed marks and model numbers, indicating workshop production rather than a modern mass-market souvenir. The quality of execution, scale and weight place it well above ordinary decorative examples commonly encountered on the secondary market. A striking display piece suitable for collectors of Asian art, Chinese porcelain, Buddhist iconography and high-quality interior decoration. Condition: Good vintage condition with normal signs of age and handling.
