Antique / Vintage Fertility Buddha
I am selling this as part of my good friend's estate. She started collecting in the early 1980's and never stopped until the very end...I will be selling pieces of her collection through the next few months. I have been a Seller on eBay for 19 years, prompt shipping and every item is always insured.
This Buddha was found in with my friend's belongings. Most likely it had belonged to her mom (probably purchased in the early 50's..., possibly earlier, but don't know it's exact age)... I don't think that it was something that my friend would have chosen for herself. It is a great, vintage statue, hand painted porcelain with five lively children on his lap.This beautifully crafted mid-century Chinese porcelain ceramic fertility Buddha represents an abundant family and household, filled with fun and laughter! Buddha is wearing colorful flowing robes that drape across his large, round tummy. The back is stamped with delicate floral symbols that repeat. All of the children wear Asian style robes with patterned decoration. They have hand painted faces, more beautiful than most that I have previously seen. The little children climb, play, and tickle, making this vintage Buddha laugh with joy! His happy and gentle expression is wonderful, with a detailed cheery face, wide smile and rosy checks.
This great fertility Buddha statue measures 10" tall by 8.5" wide, and is approximately 6" deep. It is marked on the bottom as shown in the photo. Great condition with no wear, chips, cracks, or restorations.
