The vase is the identifying attribute in this group of Guan Yin statues. Often described as Jingping Guanyin, the subject can be expressed through different postures, materials and ways of holding the vessel. A Quan Yin with a vase does not necessarily depict the act of pouring water.
The hands and vessel are worth examining closely: together they can create a compact, quiet composition or a more open gesture. For related subjects, compare Guanyin with a willow branch and water-pouring Kuan Yin statues. The distinction rests on what is depicted, while the dimensions and material help you choose a piece for your own altar or display.
