Striking pair of vintage Chinese turquoise glazed foo dogs, finely modeled with expressive faces, curled manes, and intricate decorative details. They reflect the traditional guardian lion or foo dog forms that have been continuously produced in China since the Qing Dynasty, but the bright turquoise glaze and relatively lightweight ceramic body suggest a vintage decorative export version, probably from the 1960s–1980s period when such pieces were widely produced for Western interiors. Each rests on an openwork plinth base with stylized scroll motifs, symbolizing protection and prosperity. The vivid glaze and spirited poses make them ideal statement pieces for a mantel, console, or bookshelf, lending bold color and timeless Chinoiserie charm to any interior.
Will be carefully DOUBLE BOXED with plenty of materials to help ensure their safe arrival at their new home. Please message me if you have any questions.
