Click to View Image Album EXTREMELY RARE AND IMPORTANTThis Lot Consists Of 4 (Four) Lead Glazed Pottery Figures Of Europeans. 18th Century - K\'ang Hsi (Kangxi) Period. Multi-Colored Glazed With Extremely Fine Detail Of Both Facial Features And European Dress. Possibly Dutch, English Or Swedish Traders. These Possibly Were Used On Top Of A Piece Of Furniture. The Holes In The Bottoms Of Each Figure May Have Been Used Not Only For Mounting, But Additionally To Escape Heat When Fired In The Kiln. In My Experience Of 44 Years In This Business, Traveling Extensively Worldwide, I Have Never Seen Any Other Examples That Come Close To These. These Would Be The Focal Point Of Any Advanced Collector Or Museum Collection. Please See The Last Three Images For Parke-Bernet Catalog Listing.

Additional Information:
The nearest equivalent example of gesticulating Western figures appears to be those painted on ceramics and enamels made for export to Europe. For examples, see Howard and Ayers, China for the West, nos. 601, 648, 658 and 659. See also Butler, \'Chinese Porcelain Figures of Westerners\', Antiques, February, 1961. An engraving by Nocolas and Robert Bonnant, illustrated by Howard and Ayers, op. cit., pl. 601C, p. 581, approximates closely the dress of the current example but with a reversed pose.

Our return policy should be read in light of our commitment toproviding a description of the items offered for sale based on our best effort(after many years of experience dealing in, trading, and being a licensed appraiserof such merchandise), to accurately describe what is being offered forsale. For instance, our use of theword antique complies with the U.S. government s definition of the term andconstitutes our warranty that the item is at least 100 years old. Other items that reflect bygonedays, but are not yet antique, are commonly referred to as vintage. Further, you should know thatreference to certain time periods can be guides to the buyer, such as Art Deco,Art Nouveau, Victorian, Ming, Ch ing, Sung, or Meiji. Items carrying such descriptions reflect the seller sjudgment and experience and, accordingly, pricing. It is also important to note that there is asignificant distinction between something being of a certain period, versusbeing made in the style of the period. Unscrupulous competitors may confuse the two; we donot.

If you can articulate why ourdescription is in error, we will accept return of your purchase as stated in our \"Terms\" so long as we hear from you in advance and you absorb thecost of insured shipping.That means, as policy clearly states, buyer s remorse is no reasonfor a return, nor is changing your mind for other reasons; you have to tell uswhat we said or showed that was not true.

Because we want you to get what youexpect from a respected seller, we strongly urge you to make inquiry -- to seekclarification if you have any concerns before you offer on an item. Please be mindful that unless anitem is listed as new, it should be considered pre-owned and used to theextent of normal wear and tear.For a more detailed report on a used item s condition, please correspondwith us.

If you don t dothat, be prepared to tell us exactly how we misrepresented an item or considerthe sale to be final. We canonly ensure full satisfaction if you do your part.

Lastly, we adhere to s buyersatisfaction policies and to federal and state laws. Venue for resolution of any legal dispute is Palm BeachCounty, Florida.
