Vintage Pair of Chinese Blue & White Porcelain Pillows - "Lounging Boys"

This is a pair of reclining boy figures decorated in traditional blue-and-white underglaze.
Though mirrored in design, the two figures are distinguished by their hairstyles: one with a single topknot , symbolizing innocence, and the other with three knots , representing growth, prosperity, and the auspicious concept of "duo zi duo fu" (many sons, many blessings).

The porcelain body is evenly white, with bright cobalt-blue painting. The hollow bases with oval openings are characteristic of late Qing to early Republic of China porcelain, likely from Jingdezhen kilns.

Estimated Date : Late Qing to Early Republic of China (late 19th - early 20th century), Jingdezhen ware
