[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 288327, member: 2844"]Could be either. Chinese mudmen have brownish terracotta faces and hands, which makes them look a bit muddy: [IMG]https://s14-eu5.ixquick.com/cgi-bin/serveimage?url=http%3A%2F%2Ft0.gstatic.com%2Fimages%3Fq%3Dtbn%3AANd9GcQjZwrjTb980y2iTeZiYoKxTPktdgC2S6uvqJ5oy8S2imQ8RUzA&sp=5080dad35fff26b59906e119cdfd0d35&anticache=136806[/IMG] The porcelain your gentleman is made of is often called Wucai. Wucai means five colours. Here is his boss, not nearly as nicely detailed and charming as yours: [IMG]https://s14-eu5.ixquick.com/cgi-bin/serveimage?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimg1.etsystatic.com%2F194%2F1%2F5903109%2Fil_340x270.1281140747_b13p.jpg&sp=d37a15807d5a5b0b1ce440df296f3c6c[/IMG] Looks like the cuff of his sleeve. The other sleeve also has something green near his hand. Those jackets had very long sleeves.[/QUOTE]
