Antique Meiji Rare Japanese Porcelain Snow and similar items

Very real looking. Amazingly done. Never have I seen such a thing, where when you turn it upside down, you see what?s really down under. It?s a small figure, measuring about 3? tall. It looks as if he is meant to hold something like a stick? The eyes are amazing! The brown you see is a water soluble substance on the porcelain. I started to wash it once, and it was coming off and you can see what happened to it on the back. I decided that maybe it was meant to be that way since I liked the looks of the brown and I think snow monkeys are usually brown anyway. No chips, no cracks. Any questions, please ask.
