[QUOTE="georgeingraham, post: 2935736, member: 6261"]Been a long time since have shared anything with the forum.. Sharing this 9 1/4" tall celadon glazed shiwan figure who I believe is Cao Guojiu, one of the Eight Immortals of Taoism. Dressed in traditional Tang dynasty robe and futuo or turban. I am unsure what he is holding (sword?). The facial skin color seems a flat glaze or painted as compared to the different celadon glazed hues of crackled green, browns and black making up the rest of the figure. He is missing what I am guessing was a hulu vase and part of the hair on his left side has been damaged. The body was made and joined together in two halves. There was an auction a few months ago with the most similar piece I have been able to find online, but not dated.
