AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

An incredible and fascinating complete set consisting of three Chinese porcelain sculptures, glossy and finely hand-glazed, depicting the Sanxing (The Three Stars), known in Western culture and in Feng Shui as Fu, Lu and Shou.

This lot represents not only a refined work of Eastern ceramic craftsmanship from the second half of the 20th century, but also encloses an ancient cosmic bond. In Chinese astronomical tradition, these three deities personify the three stars of Orion's Belt. Legend has it that when the constellation is clearly visible in the sky, the three deities descend to Earth to bless the homes of men.

The sculptures immediately captivate the eye with their vivid colors and the miniature detailing of the faces, smiles, and classic iconographic attributes:
- Fu (Happiness and Good Fortune): with his red robe and the RuYi scepter
- Lu (Prosperity and Success): in formal green imperial-official robes
- Shou (Longevity and Health): the elderly bearded figure in the center, grasping the legendary immortality peach

A decorative magnetic set, perfect for lovers of Oriental-inspired home decor, vintage aesthetics, and Feng Shui disciplines, designed to attract positive energy and balance to any environment it graces.

Origin: China (export-production from the mid-20th century, around the 1960s)
Marks: Each statue bears on the underside the original factory red ink stamp with the respective catalog codes of the model
Good vintage condition. The glazes are glossy and the colors vivid – See photos which are an integral part of the description

The three sculptures are offered together as a single indivisible lot, thus preserving harmony, collecting value, and the deep symbolic meaning of the trio.

Seller's Story

Welcome to our Catawiki store. Our journey in online sales began back in 2004, driven by a clear vision: creating online auctions dedicated to high-value objects. Today, more than twenty years later, we carry forward that exact same vision. We are proud to have remained a small, family-run business, yet operating with the solidity and scale of major industry professionals: each year, we welcome more than 100 new clients, purchase over 150 lots, and select between 3,000 and 5,000 unique items to offer you. Our commitment is reflected in everything we do, from the initial find to the final delivery to your doorstep: • A Purchase with Social Value: Buying from us means securing a great deal while actively supporting the future of young Italian students. We collaborate closely with 3 graphic design and advertising schools in Milan, Bergamo, and Lecco. We invest our time and expertise to teach these students the secrets of online sales, professional photography, and marketing. By choosing us, you are tangibly contributing to their education and career paths. • Field Research and Discovery: For years, we have been personally scouting the most remote locations across Lombardy to find unique pieces, rarities, oddities, and mid-century modern design. • We Invest Our Own Capital: We do not sell on consignment. We invest our own capital upfront to purchase and restore every single item, taking on all the risks ourselves. • Direct Dealings with No Intermediaries: We manage every single price personally. This allows us to eliminate third-party costs and ensure you get the best possible profit margin as a buyer or collector. • Meticulous Restoration and Quality Control: We get our hands dirty. Every item is carefully restored and verified with an obsessive eye for detail before going up for auction. • Secure and Eco-Friendly Shipping: To prevent inflated shipping costs and ensure indestructible packaging, my wife and I head out almost every evening, often at unusual hours, to collect heavy-duty industrial cardboard from businesses in our neighborhood. We hand-select only pre-evaluated, ultra-resistant materials to offer you maximum protection at the lowest possible cost. Choosing our lots means relying on the historic expertise of a family that has lived this passion since 2004, while investing in the next generation. Our schools and students thank you deeply for your trust. Happy bidding!
