with the bodhisattva seated in royal ease on a rocky outcrop above breaking waves, and accompanied by a boy acolyte, the deity bearing a ruyi sceptre in the left hand, with flowing robes open at the chest revealing jewelled necklaces, and hair divided into two knotted tresses on the shoulders, the beautiful serene face with urna to the brow, incised seal mark of He Chaozong to the back.
In his classic work 'Blanc de Chine', London 1969, P. J. Donnelly illustrates several figures of Guanyin bearing the seal mark of He Chaozong, including one seated on a rock plinth above waves, pl. 144B ,which has similar hair and jewellery. He also illustrates another Guanyin, bearing the seal of another noted early Qing Dehua artist, Lin Xiaocong, with closely comparable hair, jewellery and expression, in pl. 142A of the same work

德化窑是我国古代南方著名瓷窑,因窑址位于福建省德化县而得名。德化瓷的制作兴于两宋,盛于明清,技艺独特,至今传承未断。明代德化瓷塑大师辈出,其中,以何朝宗最为著名。何朝宗(1522-1600年),又名何来,主要活动在明朝嘉靖、万历年间,是著名的德化窑瓷塑大师,清乾隆《晋江县志?乡土》记载:“有何朝宗者,善制陶像,人争宝之。”他的瓷塑作品,吸收泥塑、木雕和石刻造像的各种技法,结合瓷土特性,博取各家之长,形成独具一格的“何派”艺术。
