Featured Chinese mud......lady figurine

Hi Folks

for showsies really

picked this up in an antiques shop while i was in town yesterday. was in a spending mood so not a bargain, might only be worth what i paid (£30)

but do love these older mudmen types, and liked the fact she was a mudlady, also like the turquoise glaze on her

presumably less common than the man types

any thoughts of info appreciated

 

She's beautiful! Love the blue and gold glazes.

 

So sweet and I also love the turquoise glaze. And she has a fan!!!!
Chinese feather fans were used in summer, so she is a summery girl.

 

Now you have to be on the lookout for her three friends, if she represents Summer!

 

cool thanks Aj, didn't even notice it was a fan

 

I am not sure she represents summer, I think she just happens to be depicted in summer attire.
Fan-wise there are only two seasons, summer and winter.

 

I found a Japanese kimono in a charity thrift last week, it was in nail-the-coffin-you're-dead colors alas, but never seen a Chinese robe here. Darnit. I'd wear hers if it showed up.
