              The Sage of Stillness — Mid-Century Ceramic Figure
A serene mid-century ceramic sculpture depicting Shou Lao — the Chinese god of longevity and wisdom. His high domed forehead, flowing robes, and gentle expression radiate stillness and quiet insight.
The soft yellow glaze carries a delicate craquelure, a map of time etched into the surface — subtle, tactile, and full of presence. Likely made in Europe during the mid-20th century, inspired by East Asian philosophy and form.
A contemplative figure for the home — symbol of patience, long life, and inner calm.
Europe, c. 1940s–1960s
Material: Glazed ceramic with fine crackle glaze
Figure: Shou Lao (God of Longevity and Wisdom)
Condition: Beautiful vintage patina with subtle age-related details
Dimensions: 15 cm.
