Featured Unusual Chinese mudmen figures

Hi all

Another boot sale find from the weekend
L L love em

I've had a couple of the brightly coloured older ones before, but these seem a bit better, odd colour

Don't know if that makes them a bit older

One of them has a broken burrito( or perhaps he was hungrier )

About 4 inches Big

Any thoughts appreciated

 

I love them, charlie, full of character.
I am not sure these qualify as mudmen though, but they are certainly Shiwan ware, so from the same region. Someone else may know the criteria for mudmen.

Poor guy.

 

Cool thanks Aj, Shiwan ware is very helpful

 

LOL

 

Closest I've found so far is this fella

Seems way overpriced, 1930s ?

I hate it when my alerts go dry, what's that about

I think I've become more concerned about antiquers than I have antiques

 

Sometimes the thrill of finding something, and then having wonderful people chime in on what you have found is sublime

(Worth more than money)

 

I would ‘check’ myself. That doesn’t sound entirely healthy or right to me (just a thought)

 

Agreed. The thrill of finding something, researching it and then being able to chat about it and learn more is very cool. But money makes the world go around (unfortunately) Even if it is just to buy more vintage and antique stuff (ha ha)!

 

Yeah, don't worry about me Boland, I've always been mental

It's a gift

 

Cool then!

 

I'm glad you've joined mate, I can tell you're a good one

( Charlie likes to drink in the evening)

 

Plus it is a crazy world you know...

 

And some

 

Thanks. This is a great forum with very knowledgeable people (who are very willing and kind enough to freely share their knowledge) Unfortunately I don’t have much knowledge myself (but learning)

Ha ha... I also feel like drinking most evenings when I come back from that thing called Work...

 

Back in 2015 when I joined, I knew squat

There are remarkable people here who will help you learn a whole lot

It becomes a part of your life
