The Sage of Stillness — Mid-Century Ceramic Figure

DKK 950.00

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.
