Elderly man

This is a vintage Shiwan mudman figurine, commonly known as a “mud man” or Shekwan mudware. These handcrafted Chinese ceramic figurines typically feature glazed robes and unglazed faces and hands. Authentic pieces often date from the late 19th century through the early 20th century, specifically between 1890 and 1919. They are highly collectible and were created to depict sages, old men, or other figures in vibrant colors like green and yellow. This particular piece is stamped “CHINA” “10” and has a couple chips and wear. Overall good and intact condition.
