The dignitary depicted in the group with boys possibly represents
the God of Fortune (福星 Fuxing). He is often seen with a boy, or a
scroll, sometimes surrounded by children such as the present lot. See
a related famille-verte model of the God of Wealth, Kangxi period,
illustrated by S. G. Valenstein in A Handbook of Chinese Ceramics,
London, 1989, pl.222. See also a similar famille-verte figure, Kangxi
period, from the Salting Collection, illustrated by W. Gulland, Chinese
Porcelain, vol. II, London, 1911, no. 520.
