This vintage piece dates from the 1960s and 70s, a period when the workshops of Manises produced numerous decorative pieces inspired by the Orient and characterized by their vibrant glazes. The sculptures are made of glazed ceramic and feature a magnificent, glossy turquoise finish with deep, luminous nuances that enhance the detailed modeling of the animals. The Foo dogs, symbols of protection and prosperity, rest on bases that form sturdy bookends, both decorative and functional. The turquoise hue evokes traditional glazes, especially prized for this type of design. See less
