    I have this white celladon figurine, is this considered one of the Chinese immortals? Or is it just a buddist figurine?

    I think it's Guanyin. I'm not the best at what to call types of Chinese ware but I wonder if this is closer to ge ware.

    I guess it is supposed to look like Dehua kiln blanc de chine type of ware. I am not sure if pieces made in that kiln had crackles on them. You can see some online sellers describing pieces with white crackled glazed as antique Dehua but I think the real one had no such. However, I believe other kilns made white crackle glaze during the Qing dynasty.
    I am not sure either if Guan/Ge ware include figurines, at least from the original period. All I've seen are type of vessels.
    This statue, looks like being made in a mold. Is it? If so, likely on the recent side.

    I'm not sure about it being made in a molding, but is there a way to find out?

    Can you take it off the wooden base and shiw the bottom?

    Hi there, very nice piece - usually when it comes to Chinese and when piece marked as "made in China" it is likely 20th century, probably 2nd half of 20th century 60s-70s
