A large 'blanc-de-chine' figure of Guanyin Qing Dynasty, 18th Century

crisply potted standing on a lotus wave scroll base, wearing long flowing robes billowing in the wind open at the chest to reveal an elaborate beaded necklace from which a lotus pendant hangs, her facial features finely and naturalistically formed providing a calm and serene expression with downcast eyes, long elegant nose and bud-form lips, the hair tied in a high chignon and secured by an ornate tiara, with two long pig-tails falling down the shoulders, all under a warm milky-white glaze, impressed double-gourd and square seal mark to the reverse
