This 18th-century porcelain figurine, "Chinese Man", was crafted by the renowned Meissen Manufactory in Germany. The figure, standing at a height of 4 5/8 inches, showcases a man in traditional Chinese attire adorned with delicate floral patterns, showcasing the popular Chinoiserie style. This style, which emerged in Europe during the 17th and 18th centuries, was a reflection of the fascination with Eastern cultures. This piece is a testament to the artistry of the Meissen factory and the enduring allure of Chinese aesthetics.
