I bought this asian lady at a Lexington, Kentucky antique store for about $40 a year or so ago. She is about 36" talk, hollow, "chalky" and her chalk comes off on your hands when you touch her. What is it? Age?
Think it is a modern copy of a chinese Tang era "fat lady"
Google for "tang fat lady" images.
Forgot to say fine display, love it :-)
Thank you for your information. Are these made in China, Mexico, US? Why does the color come off on my hands when I handle it? And I am assuming it is chalkware? Would you have any ideas about my Japanese Samurai, posted today under "Asian"?
Sorry, I know nothing about chalkware, I just identify the representation.
