Blanc de Chine Porcelain Guanyin Lamp

A symbol of compassion and mercy, Guanyin is a bodhistva celebrated by Bhuddists and Taoists alike. The 14 inch tall figurine depicts the serene goddess clutching a lotus flower and leaf, symbols of purity and divinity. She is wearing two strands of jeweled pearls and is wrapped in a flowing, full-length robe. Her welcoming pose stands in stark juxtaposition to the intertwined menagerie of intriquately carved sea shells, aquatic plants and tumultuous waves below. The 30 inch tall lamp provides a relaxing sanctuary from a long day and is a perfect complement to a good book, cup of tea or conversation with a cherished friend. A brass foundation with rich patina from its approximate 65 years of age provides a subtle backdrop to this stunning statue. A brand new white cloth lamp shade from Naomi's in Lake Oswego sits overhead. The original finial completes the ensemble. The figurine has three fingers missing on her right hand. Barely noticeable. See pics. Hand can be replaced if desired. Older versions of the statue have a hand that rotates. Otherwise no chips or cracks and in excellent condition.
