EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is a glimpse into the rich cultural offerings of Tyrrell's Limited, a renowned booksellers, art dealers, and publishers based in Sydney, Australia. Circa 1922, this advertisement showcases a beautiful figurine of Pu-Tai Ho-Shang, also known as the Laughing Buddha, a revered deity in Chinese culture symbolizing contentment and prosperity. The figurine is exquisitely decorated in the Famille Verte style, a distinctive Chinese porcelain technique that produces a vivid green color, often adorned with intricate floral and butterfly motifs. Pu-Tai Ho-Shang is depicted in a playful pose, carrying a large bag filled with precious things, emphasizing his role as a God of abundance and good fortune. The new series, unveiled in February 1922, was announced on Castlereagh Street in Sydney, inviting the public to explore the wonders of Chinese art and culture through Tyrrell's Limited. This advertisement serves as a testament to the company's commitment to bringing unique and captivating pieces to collectors and enthusiasts alike. The Laughing Buddha figurine is not only a beautiful addition to any collection but also a reminder of the enduring connection between different cultures and the power of art to transcend boundaries and bring joy to our lives.
