I recently acquired this Chinese mudman figurine at an auction, and do not know much about it. It has no stamp on the bottom so I am assuming it would date this one before 1890?

Re: Chinese Mudman
I doubt it is that old but can't say anything definitively. I wouldn't take there not being a stamp to ever be a sign of age... especially when there is no bottom. Markings go back nearly a thousand years if not more and again their presence can help date a piece due to what they say, but simply being there or not is irrelevant.
Re: Chinese Mudman
Yes, I guess that makes sense since there is no bottom. Didn't think about that! Thank you!
