This fine midcentury Cantonese Lu deity with famille rose enamels circa the 1960s to 70s is a rare and statuesque piece.
The porcelain was likely made in Jingdezhen; possibly some of the hand-painted details were also placed there, but it is more likely from he style of decoration and the rich gilding of details that the porcelain blanks were shipped to Hong Kong where they were hand-painted and richly gilded circa the 1960s to 70s.
The Lu deity represents prosperity, and is frequently depicted with Fu and Shou, the three great Heavenly Constellations.
This would nicely complement the Fu Xing deity that we have listed separately.
Price listed at $650 AUD.
Measurements: 32.5cm high, base measurements 10 by 12cm.
Very good vintage condition. There is plaster and glue to the winged head ornaments, however upon research we discovered other comparable figures initially had detachable head ornaments, and it is likely that these were affixed sometime in its prior history. Does not in our opinion detract and still excellent for display and use.
