Late 18th Century enameled Chinese monk. Closely related to the pair shown in item 7171, but much finer. Minor loss and dings (usual for this type) as seen in the photos. Sits 6 3/8 inches tall, 8 inches on its custom base. Note the reign mark- I've seen more than a dozen of these and this is the first one I've encountered that had a reign mark. . Fabulous face- best I've seen on one of these monks. Contents leaking slightly (I believe the only purpose of contents is to give the piece weight-many of the other related pieces are hollow with no bottoms).
