Antique Chinese Doll

Something a bit different from me! He was just too lovely to leave behind. Besides the gorgeous husband insisted he came home with us! A Chinese doll with a soft body, arms and legs although quite sturdy and some sort of ceramic head, feet and hands. I admit I’m no expert! He does have a few crackles and chips. His trousers fall down a bit but overall well made, clothes in good condition (a little fraying), as is his plaits.  He has stood the test of time and lovely to sit on a shelf. Measures 8ins tall. I would say an ornament rather than a toy.
