This is a vintage Chinese ceramic statue of a young woman out for a stroll with a bird cage in one hand and an umbrella in the other.The statue is made of a porcelain called Blanc de Chine or Dehua porcelain.Dehua porcelain(Chinese: 德化陶瓷; pinyin: Déhuà Táocí; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Tek-hòe hûi), more traditionally known in the West as Blanc de Chine (French for "White from China"), is a type of white Chinese porcelain, made at Dehua in the Fujian province. It has been produced from the Ming dynasty (1368–1644) to the present day. Large quantities arrived in Europe as Chinese export porcelain in the early 18th century and it was copied at Meissen and elsewhere. It was also exported to Japan in large quantities.

This statue measures 18" tall by 7" wide including a 1" tall copper base (46 x 18 cm). Having been displayed lovingly for over 50 years, with exception to a few lost finger tips (see picture 4) she remains in good condition.
