Vintage Turquoise and Green Glaze Ceramic Japanese Komainu or Lion Dogs, a Pair
Located in Morristown, NJ
A pair of vintage mid-century Japanese Komainu or Lion Dogs in ceramic with a primarily turquoise green glaze mixed with greens and blues and blacks and browns. The glaze on the male Komainu is brighter than that on the female. There is some intentional crackling to the glaze. This is an unusual example of a pair of Lion Dogs.
Fun Facts:
There is a very obvious connection between Komainu and the Chinese Guardian Lions, often erroneously called Foo Dogs in English, and the original source of these is probably India or even points west, possibly even Egypt. Interestingly a few African lion statues have made an appearance at shrines recently. Like the fierce Nio statues found at many temples, and like the fox statues...
