About This Piece
This vintage resin figurine depicts a robed Chinese good-fortune figure, identified as Fu Xing in the supplied description. A handwritten paper label underneath reads “Good Fortune,” echoing the subject presented by the figure.
Standing approximately 10 cm tall, he holds a rounded, ingot-like object in both hands. His long beard, formal headdress and layered robes create a detailed silhouette within a compact decorative piece.
A Bearded Figure in Official Robes
The face has narrow eyes, defined brows and a long moustache extending into the beard. Fine grooves distinguish the strands, while dark shading emphasises the facial features and recessed details.
A rounded official-style headdress rises above the forehead, with curled projections beside the head. Broad sleeves frame the hands and the object held before the body.
The flowing robe continues down to the feet, where sweeping folds meet the irregular sculpted base. Viewed from the side, the projecting beard and sleeves give the figure additional depth.
Red-Brown Resin Finish
Warm brown and terracotta tones cover much of the front, contrasting with brighter red areas along the sides and back. Dark accents follow the robe folds, beard and base.
The finish creates a wood-like, lacquer-effect appearance. The material is resin, not carved rosewood, and the surface should not be confused with genuine carved lacquer.
Changes in colour across the figure help distinguish the raised details from the shaded recesses. The brighter red reverse provides a different impression from the softer brown front.
The “Good Fortune” Label
A small handwritten paper label remains attached to the underside. It identifies the subject as “Good Fortune” but does not establish a maker, manufacturing location or exact date.
The figurine has been described as a companion to a similarly finished Shoulao longevity figure. This listing includes one figurine only, not a pair or a complete three-figure Sanxing group.
Condition
Good overall vintage condition, with the main sculpted details present in the photographs. Small pale marks and finish losses are visible on the back, alongside minor surface wear.
The red and brown colouring remains distinct, with dark detailing throughout the folds and base. Please examine the close-up photographs rather than expecting an unworn surface.
