Each sculpture stands approximately 18 inches tall, offering strong visual presence and timeless Chinoiserie appeal.

This mirrored pair features the traditional opposing stance — one symbolizing protection and the other representing prosperity and good fortune. The craftsmanship includes sculpted curling manes, expressive faces, clawed paws, and stylized decorative ribbons and tails.
The glossy glaze shows excellent color saturation with subtle handmade variations typical of mid-century ceramic work. Both pieces are in excellent vintage condition with no chips, cracks, or visible repairs.

Ideal for a foyer, console table, fireplace hearth, or display shelf in homes styled with Chinoiserie, Hollywood Regency, Palm Beach, Mid-Century, or global eclectic décor. Large ceramic pairs such as this example are far less common than smaller decorative versions, making this set especially desirable.
