Chinese Jade carving - statue

Category
Asian Art
Condition
Good
Description

Was told this was a Jade sculpture purchased in the 70's. The image is of

Shou Xing Gong is the Chinese deity of longevity. Legend holds that Shou Xing Gong began as a star in the southern constellation Argo, and he is sometime referred to as the Old Man of the South Pole. He is easily recognizable by his over sized forehead, representing wisdom, and his extra long beard, which is meant to literally demonstrate a long life. Shou Xing Gong is always depicted holding a long staff and a peach, both symbols of longevity themselves, and said to come from Xi Wangmu's magical peach garden found in Heaven. Xi Wangmu is also called Yin and is the personification of femininity and the Chi energy of the same name. The peach trees in her garden only bloom every 3,000 years. The longevity god carries the peach of immortality as an offering, showing that long life may be bestowed upon those who pay their respects to Shou Xing Gong. The staff in his hand is removable

oriental, chinese, japanese cups and saucers

Category
Ceramics and Porcelains
Condition
Mint
Description

This set was bought at an estate auction where I live.  The house being auctioned had been family owned since it was constructed in the early 1800's.  There were so many beautiful things in mint condition.  The set I am inquiring about looks oriental, maybe chinese or japanese.  Very very thin porcelain.  When held up to the light the makers mark is visible through the bottom, that's how thin it is.  I've done research trying to find the maker and I've probably looked at a thousand makers marks, but still can't find exactly what I have.  Maybe transferware?  Handpainted?  The mark on the cup is blue and the mark on the saucer is gold.
