Vintage Blanc de Chine Porcelain Guanyin or Immortal Riding a Foo Dog

This is a monochromatic white porcelain figure, commonly referred to as 'Blanc de Chine' (Dehua porcelain), depicting a celestial figure, likely a Guanyin or a Daoist Immortal, riding a Foo Dog (Guardian Lion). The piece is finished in a high-gloss creamy white glaze. The central figure is dressed in traditional flowing robes with intricate folds that demonstrate a high degree of sculptural detail. The figure's left arm is raised holding a large, leaf-like fan or scarf, while the right hand rests on the knee holding what appears to be a scroll or staff. The Foo Dog features characteristic stylized curls for its fur and a fierce facial expression with bared teeth. The construction is solid with moderate weight, suggesting a mid-to-late 20th-century manufacture in the style of Qing dynasty antiques. Notable features include the delicate facial features of the rider and the expressive anatomy of the lion base. Condition-wise, the glaze remains largely intact with no visible major cracks or large chips, though minor surface pitting and factory firing imperfections are expected in this type of pottery. The base shows a wavy, molded pattern representing stylized earth or clouds. The craftsmanship is of good commercial quality, typical of export pieces designed to mimic more ancient Dehua originals.
