The glaze is in too good of condition to have been buried under ground for hundreds or thousands of years... possibly a votive offering?

The 'dirt' you're referring to could have come from sitting on the display shelf at Pier 1 Imports for many years?
I'm just kidding about the Pier 1 reference

As you well know, with Chinese pieces it could be a thousand years old or have been made yesterday.

He's one of the 3 Emperors of the Qing Dynasty.

Representing three generations of the most popular emperors in Chinese history. The oldest of the three Qing (1644-1912) emperors, Kang Xi (reigned 1662-1722), reestablished peace by adopting much of the Ming bureaucratic structure and espousing Confucian ideals of government and ushered in an era of reconstruction. Yong Zheng (reigned 1723-35), completed the institutional restructuring of the Qing state, but it was under Kang Xi's grandson, Qian Lon (reigned 1736-95), that the empire reached the height of its power.
