Antique Chinese Cizhou Pottery Figure Of A Man - Song/Yuan? dynasty or later
Description
An antique Chinese Chizhou pottery figure of a seated nude male.
Figure is holding what looks like flowers and another object.
There is spout and small hole where his "delicate" area is. Possibly trying be "realistic", or perhaps it was putting water in and then tipping it upside down when someone wanted to be amaused?
Possibly dates from the Song/Yuan dynasty but could also be much later. Please look at the images and judge for yourself as to dating.
Condition
The figure appears to be in good condition. On the figure itself there appears to be no chips or cracks, nor any other damage. I don't know whether the "delicate" area is damaged or has some fritting, or if it was just how it was made.
Dimensions
The figure measures approximately 10cm (4 inches)
