Petite in scale yet wonderfully sculptural, each figure is finely molded with expressive features, curled tails, traditional raised plinths, and the wonderfully saturated glaze that makes turquoise Asian ceramics so appealing in a collected interior.

Their smaller proportions make them particularly versatile. Place the pair at opposite ends of a mantel, flank a stack of books in a library, or incorporate them into a console vignette among blue and white porcelain, brass, and other objects gathered over time. The turquoise brings just enough color to a traditional room while remaining entirely at home in English Country, Chinoiserie, and classic Palm Beach interiors.
