Glazed in a rich celadon green with warm brown accents, the mythical creature stands in a dynamic pose—mouth open in mid-roar, one paw resting atop a decorative ball, and its tail curling with stylized flair. The circular base is adorned with wave-like motifs, evoking clouds or water, and grounding the piece in traditional iconography.

• Dimensions: Approx. 5” H × 6” L × 5.25” W
• Condition: Very good vintage condition with age-appropriate wear. No cracks or repairs.
• Marking: Impressed signature or stamp on the underside, though it remains illegible to us.
• Origin: Likely Chinese or Japanese, based on stylistic elements and glaze.

Whether displayed solo or as part of a themed vignette, this Foo Dog offers both protective symbolism and sculptural charm. A wonderful addition for collectors of Asian ceramics, mythological figures, or antique décor. See less
