Chinese Statue like one on the Ricardo’s mantelpiece

chinese-statue
Seen on eBay this week is a rare example of a famille rose Chinese made for export statue of a seated man. One issue I notice is that he should be holding a scythe/sickle with a curved blade in his left hand, but the blade of the scythe seems to be missing,  but this is a small detail  you would have to look closely to notice it  This is a good find for a  hard to find item if you are interested in vintage “Prop-alikes”  similar to items seen on the show. This statue is similar to the one usually seen on the right of the living room mantelpiece on the set of I Love Lucy CLICK HERE to view the listing on eBay
