AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Set of 3 polychrome glazed stoneware statues in Shiwan style.
Each statue depicts an immortal or a deity such as Guanyin, the Bodhisattva of Compassion.
These statues are made of stoneware with a polychrome glaze, featuring colors such as green, blue and yellow.
They adorned the roof of a temple or a wealthy residence.
This type of antique statue often presents firing flaws, chips or restorations. The 3 statues shown are in generally good condition. I note, however, a missing thumb on the left statue in the first photo.
Each statue stands about 22 cm tall and weighs between 380 and 570 g.
