An extremely rare and finely made Chinese Kangxi porcelain blanc de chine figure of a cockerel. The cockerel stands on a shaped base with good feather detailing and stands crowing with its mouth open. There are few remnants of red on the base and this a copy of similar examples made in Japan. The cockerel is not marked.
Offered in excellent condition.
