Not bone.
Porcelain.

Made of bone (ivory, for example) unless painted colors?

Sure.
Much on offer meets Chinese ivory figurines, painted.
However, not as nice as this.
Here, for example.
Carving out the bones.
Not sure, however, that that elephant tusk

More like a porcelain.
Stained bone looks a little different than the statuette presented.
And at the end, I did not see "annual rings" inherent in the present tusks ..

IMHO

Strange as that , you say that the bone , and was bought in '84 in Krasnodar , and you keep saying that the modern china , and even porcelain or earthenware, why would a man write ivory if it is porcelain, you can explain , or do you think that everyone wants to cheat just for you , such a great and intelligent, why put under doubt the word of a man who asks for help in assessing what he wrote , because his mom bought it and kept the 30 year old house , and you saw the greatest modern china , you discriminated against yourself! No offense is so I thought !

This porcelain huh?

I suppose that is produced in Japan sculpture , ceramics, probably 20th century , the middle . Rather , Satsuma ( Satsuma ) . From SW.

No, it is not Japan and ceramics.
This figurine Chinese Buddhist Goddess of Mercy Kuan Yin, carved their bones, obviously - elephant tusk.

Price figurines of ivory was initially very high.

Seen painted enamel paint requiring obzhiga.I what will happen to the bone after firing? By Reference modern Chinese bone shape and the paint is quite different.

Solovlad, I first wrote his report that imitation of Satsuma , then edited by Kutani . What is porcelain or earthenware, I have no doubt . And 99%of modern Chinese . Instead of having to write verbose tirades owner should make a couple of threads quality pictures . Something similar .....

Zeya, you are absolutely right, that's just it though Japan.
From SW.
