About the Item

This delightful group of seven Chinese porcelain Laughing Boys was made circa 1850 and hand-painted in colorful famille rose enamels. Each boy has a cheerful, smiling face and wears a beautifully decorated robe, with flowers and scrolling vines in shades of turquoise, yellow, green, pink, and iron red. The boys are modeled in lively kneeling poses, with their hands held forward. The faces are well modeled, with only a few delicate touches of black enamel defining their features. Subtle differences in head shape, eyes, cheeks, and smiling mouths give each boy his own character and expression. Their robes are beautiful, combining shades of turquoise, yellow, green, pink, and iron red. Our friend and client Mario Buatta, the renowned interior designer, owned twelve Chinese Laughing Boys in his private collection. We had the privilege of acquiring and selling his figures several years ago. Mario appreciated their charm and individual personalities, qualities that are equally apparent in this delightful group of seven. In Chinese decorative art, Laughing Boys symbolize happiness, harmony, prosperity, and wishes for a flourishing family. Displayed together on a mantel, console, or bookshelf, these seven colorful figures create a wonderful decorative group. Their cheerful expressions invite a closer look, and their individual personalities make them a pleasure to collect and display.
