For your consideration is this gorgeous vintage Chinese Blanc de Chine porcelain figurine depicting Guanyin (Kwan Yin), the Bodhisattva of Compassion and Goddess of Mercy.
This elegant statue stands approximately 8 inches tall and features exceptional craftsmanship, showing the deity draped in fine flowing robes while standing gracefully atop an intricate lotus flower and rockery base.
A fascinating and unique highlight of this specific vintage piece is its removable hand.

Owners traditionally carry or hide the hand to invoke blessings and good luck before returning it to the statue.
