Porcelain belongs to the wider ceramic family. When choosing a Guan Yin statue, look at the material specified for the individual piece as well as its appearance: painted decoration and an unpainted white surface can both occur on porcelain. The same subject may also be made in other ceramic bodies.
For the Dehua white porcelain tradition, explore Blanc de Chine Guanyin. A porcelain Kwan Yin figure can be chosen for the modeling of the face and robes, while its height and base dimensions determine how it fits an altar or display cabinet.
Posture offers a separate way to refine the selection. Compare seated Kuan Yin statues and standing Quan Yin figures without treating a particular lotus base, color or size as a requirement of the material.
