A Fine Celadon Porcelain Figure of Shou Lao Qing Dynasty, 18th Century

the bearded immortal portrayed seated raising his right knee, holding a peach-shaped bowl in his right hand, wearing a long flowing robe and loose pants, his face finely detailed with almond-shaped eyes framed by curved eyebrows and rounded cheeks, his mouth partly open in a joyful smile, covered overall in a pale celadon glaze, the peach-shaped bowl picked out with iron red at the tip and an underglaze-blue leaf, the base left unglazed revealing the smooth white biscuit, wood stand

There is a pick-prick burst air bubble at the tip of the peach-shaped bowl, otherwise the figure is in very good condition.
