Rare Antique 5 x 7 x 5 ins Lucky Buddha with 7 children

Laughing happy Buddha with climbing children Antique large 5 ins x 7 ins x 5 ins Chinese Happy Buddha and 7 children.

Some of this has been transfer printed ( blue pattern on back) and hand painted. Researching other similar pieces with the same design and markings it appears to be of the late 19 th century to early 20th century.

I have seen similar with marks and mould number. This has wear which also adds to the much earlier feel and look. There appear to be some not perfectlty smooth edges on the base which might be a pre firing edge and not a chip. Please look at photographs carefully.

There is some wear on the figures where they have been rubbed for good luck, please look at photographs carefully as they form part of the description.

Should you have any additional questions or need more photographs please let me know.
