A handsome pair of 19th Century Chinese turquoise roosters, each hand-sculpted with a proud, regal posture and finished in a vibrant, lustrous glaze. These figures represent the long-standing Chinese tradition of the rooster as a guardian spirit, a messenger of light believed to ward off darkness and bring good fortune to the home.
Circa 1850, these original period pieces were crafted during the Qing Dynasty when turquoise-glazed ceramics reached a peak of popularity and artistic refinement.
Sculpted ceramic with a striking turquoise glaze, featuring intricate detailing in the feathers and crests that remains crisp and vivid. Rooted in the Chinese ceramic tradition, these roosters embody the auspicious symbolism and meticulous craftsmanship that have defined the region’s decorative arts for centuries.
