“Wood and Stone House” is a common style on blue and white and multicolored porcelain in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. It should be a very important porcelain workshop at that time. Through comparative study, it can be found that the blue-and-white porcelain produced by the workshop is very exquisite, the blue-and-white material is processed and washed carefully, the blue-and-white hair color is gorgeous, the water separation technique is mostly used, the strokes are extremely delicate, and the patterns have a sense of hierarchy and three-dimensional. The necks of some bottles and venerable vessels are well decorated with broken bamboo, broken flowers or broken flowers and birds. The outer soles of the implements are usually printed with blue and white regular script imitating the Ming Dynasty Xuande, Chenghua, Jiajing and other dynasties, such as the “Xuande Year System of the Ming Dynasty”, “Chenghua Year System of the Ming Dynasty”, and “Jiajing Year System of the Ming Dynasty”. The font and calligraphy style are consistent. This blue and white Avalokitesvara can be regarded as the representative work of the “Wood and Stone House” workshop
