Hi Charles, Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. The finish of the interior and relatively clumsy modelling of this figure denote a relatively modern age; this was most likely made for Export, or the tourist trade. It has a nominal decorative value rather than a historic one. Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is: A vintage Chinese export blanc de chine porcelain Buddha 20th Century, made for the export market In the form of a standing pot-bellied Buddha figure wearing drapes and carrying implements in his hands, hollow cast, with white crackle-glaze overall. 5 inches tall by 2 1/2 inches wide by 2 inches deep CONDITION: appears to be in good condition with wear commensurate to age. PROVENANCE: inherited $75-100* *represents a fair-market value for auction purposes; retail or asking price may vary. Please let us know if you have additional items to appraise, and thank you again for using Mearto.
