The above figurine is one of my favourites among the Laughing Buddhas in my collection. This is an 18th century Shiwan figurine. The most important attraction to me is the beautiful glaze known as the Shiwan green jun glaze. As usual with Shiwan figurines, the head and part of the torso is unglazed. This unglazed biscuit enabled the potter to make the facial expression as realistic as possible. Thus the smiling face with his typical rotund belly and a pair of drooping ear lobes fully reflect the unmistakable character of the ‘Laughing Buddha’. You may note, too, that while the sitting position is the most popular posture, you will also see the ‘Laughing Buddha’ in a standing position. In both cases, you will note that the calico bag is always there, usually next to him.
