Italian 800 Silver "Riempito" Laughing Buddha Figurine – R Mark + gr 30 – 1180g Heavy Decorative Statue, Oval 800 Hallmark

Description: 
Charming vintage Laughing Buddha (Hotei/Budai) figurine in Italian 800/1000 silver(80% purity), with "riempito" (filled) construction for added weight and stability.  

The joyful seated figure has a broad smile, bald head, exposed belly, detailed flowing robes, prayer beads draped over shoulders/chest, and holds beads in one hand (possibly a small prosperity symbol in the other). Classic symbol of happiness, abundance, and good fortune – ideal for Asian decor or Feng Shui.  

Hallmarks (visible in photos): 
- "800" in oval – Italian purity mark for 800/1000 silver.  
- "R" (in square/rectangle) – "Riempito" mark, indicating non-precious filler inside, with silver covering the exterior (standard Italian regulation for such decorative items) - "gr 30" 
- Rectangular mark with unclear numbers – Likely maker's registration/province code (typical Italian system, e.g., from Florence, Milan, or Arezzo regions).  

Dimensions & weight:
- Approx. 16 × 16 × 17 cm 
- Total weight: 1180 grams 

Condition:  Very good vintage condition – Minor surface wear from age/handling.  

Shipment:  Will be packed with special care
