About the Item
A charming near pair of Chinese green glazed foo lion joss stick holders, late 19th century, China.
The delightful foo lions, also referred to as foo dogs, crafted as joss (incense) stick holders, with a small hole and quatrefoil ash catcher to the back of the head, and glazed all over in a bright deep green glaze with splotches of amber and cream, technically making them sancai (three color) glazed.
The pair of foo lions portrayed standing foursquare upon a raised rectangular plinth with geometric cut outs. They have been molded with bushy manes and tails, floppy ears, and a collar with jaunty tassels around their necks .
The foo lions with fierce expressions upon their faces, with bulging eyes, sharp fangs, and mouths open in mighty roars. One lion retains a loose clay ball within its mouth.
