Item Description

NO SHIPPING ON THIS ITEM

This vintage Chinese Mudman figurine features a seated elderly scholar or fisherman, depicted in traditional blue and white glazed robes while resting on a textured rock formation. His expressive face and flowing beard capture the artistry of handmade Shiwan ceramics, a style known for its rich glazing and intricate detailing. Beside him sits a small pottery jug, possibly representing a vessel for tea, wine, or water, emphasizing a moment of contemplation.

Mudmen figurines were traditionally crafted in Shiwan, China, during the late Qing Dynasty and early 20th century, often representing Taoist sages, fishermen, or hermits—symbols of wisdom, serenity, and the appreciation of nature. This beautiful collectible is ideal for Asian decor enthusiasts, ceramic collectors, or those who appreciate traditional Chinese artistry.

Fun fact: Shiwan pottery, also called Shiwan ware, originates from the Guangdong province of China and has been produced for over 1,000 years. These small figurines were originally created as ornaments for bonsai gardens and scholars’ desks, embodying the philosophical ideals of simplicity and harmony with nature.
