Re: Laughing Buddha with 5 children
Hi, my nan has exactly the same statue sitting in her dining room, she got it as a wedding gift back in the 1960's, its origin is from china as the woman she received it off was from hong kong. If you can find out the value of this item i would be greatfull if you could let me know..
Cheers
