Pair of Early 20th Century Chinese Shisa Polychromed Glazed Foo Dogs, also known as Fu dogs. Statues are traditional Chinese guardians, representing protection, wealth, and good fortune in Chinese cultures. This ceramic pair is painted and glazed in vibrant greens, yellows, and whites, and the pair has fine details such as an expressive face and long tail.
In today’s modern home, these foo dogs are still often placed in pairs by the front door as entryway guardians. They are also used as statement decor pieces such as on console tables, mantles, or bookshelves. Their fierce stylized expressions and intricate detailing make them stand out as eye-catching sculptural art.
